Ingredients
- 4 corn tortillas
- 15 ounces black beans drained and rinsed (1 can)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup lettuce shredded
- 1 tomato diced - large
- 1 avocado diced
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
Lime wedges for serving
Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and lightly spray or brush them with olive oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes until crisp.
- While the tortillas are baking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened - about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and well-coated with the spices.
Assemble the tostadas
- Spread a layer of the seasoned black beans onto each crispy tortilla.
- Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro.
Serve the tostadas immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Optionally, offer salsa, sour cream, or shredded cheese for additional toppings.
