These Easy Chipotle Shrimp Tostadas are layered with creamy beans and loaded with flavor…perfect for weeknights or entertaining!

This recipe is really easy, there are only a handful of ingredients. Lets talk about some of them. First up is the tostada. Tostada means toasted, it refers to the base of the dish. Usually made by frying or baking corn tortillas. I like mine baked…this way there is zero guilt when I go back for seconds and most likely thirds 😉

My easy chipotle shrimp tostadas take about an hour, give or take to make and thats only because the shrimp needs to marinate for 30 minutes.

I also like to simmer my canned beans. Canned beans are a little too hard for my liking and simmering them before blending softens them right up. Plus it gives me a chance to add some depth of flavor to the beans.

In the time it takes to marinate the shrimp, you can make the tostadas and the refried black beans. This way everything is ready almost at the same time.


I love to serve this with shredded romaine lettuce, a little sour cream and of course Pico de Gallo (tomato salsa). Store bought salsa is fine but if you have the time I suggest making your own. I have a great recipe for Homemade Pico here 😉 Now we are all set.. lets make some tostadas!
