 4 tostada shells

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add half of the diced onion. Cook 3-5 minutes or until softened. Add in beans, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and dried oregano. Cook until beans are warmed through. Remove from heat. Using a potato masher, mash beans. The mixture will be chunky.
