That's because, while he is a cookbook author, he's not a trained chef. But that doesn't matter when you have a passion for cooking. Tim Mulligan, who wrote the new cookbook A Perfect 10, stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about how his simplicity when whipping recipes up can make your table an exciting place to be. Tim told Tonia about his very easy and delicious Tostada recipe he makes himself at least once a week. Tim says he fills the tostadas, which he doesn't fry, with his homemade refried beans recipe, which includes canned pinto beans, coconut oil, onions, cumin, coriander and garlic, He boils the mix in water or stock for about 6 minutes and uses a potato masher to bring it all together. Top it with slow cooker mole chicken or whatever protein you like.
