Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces corn tostada shells
- 1 can canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can canned refried beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 large avocado, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 large lime, cut into wedges
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and arrange the corn tostada shells on a baking sheet.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the red onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the black beans, refried beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until heated through, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
While the beans are cooking, place the tostada shells in the oven for 5 minutes to crisp them up.
Remove the tostada shells from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
To assemble the tostadas, spread a generous spoonful of the bean mixture onto each crispy tostada shell.
Top with sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the top before enjoying.
