• Prepare the mashed beans in a skillet. Add 1 tbsp. Angie’s dry seasoning, 1 tbsp. Angie’s basting olive oil and 1 tsp. roasted garlic and herbs. Cook just until all the ingredients are warm and blended. (If needed, add a tad of water to make the mashed beans softer before assembling the tostadas.

• Now, in a skillet at med-high heat, sauté the cod filet and shrimp until lightly cooked, do not overcook the seafood. Remove set aside.
• To plate the Charras, first peel and cube the avocado. Then assemble the tostadas as I did in my slide presentation and sprinkle with chopped cilantro or Italian parsley.
• If you want, you could accompany this meal with a scoop of yellow rice, although I don’t think it is necessary, smile.
