Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- Cooking spray
- 1 cup Canned black beans
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 cups Lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, diced
- 1 piece Avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 pieces Lime, cut into wedges
- 0.5 cup Low-fat sour cream
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly spray both sides of the corn tortillas with cooking spray and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake the tortillas in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping once halfway, until they are golden and crispy. Remove and set aside to cool.
While the tortillas are baking, prepare the black bean mixture. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and water.
Stir occasionally, mashing the beans slightly with the back of a spoon until warmed through and thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Keep warm.
To assemble the tostadas, spread a generous spoonful of the black bean mixture over each baked tortilla.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, a slice of avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Optionally, squeeze some lime juice over the top for added flavor.
Serve with a dollop of low-fat sour cream and a dash of hot sauce, if desired.
