Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions. Once pliable, cut each sheet into 4 equal squares (8 squares total).
Place the puff pastry squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the pastry squares in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Remove and set aside to cool.
While the pastry bakes, prepare the toppings. Heat the black beans in a small pot over medium heat. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mash lightly with a fork to create a rough spreadable consistency. Keep warm.
Dice the cherry tomatoes, avocado, and red onion. Chop the cilantro finely and cut the lime into wedges.
To assemble, take each cooled pastry square and gently press the center down to create a slight indent.
Spread a generous spoonful of the spiced black beans onto the center of each pastry square.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each pastry.
Garnish with diced tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and cilantro. Squeeze a wedge of lime over the toppings for added freshness.
For an optional finishing touch, drizzle with sour cream or serve it on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Pastry Tostadas Ole!
