Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the tostada shells on a baking sheet. Warm them in the oven for 5 minutes or until crispy. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Mince the garlic clove and finely chop the jalapeño half, then add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the refried black beans. Add the cumin powder, chili powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beans are heated through. Remove from heat.
Prepare the toppings: dice the avocados, halve the cherry tomatoes, finely dice the red onion, and chop the cilantro. Combine everything in a bowl with the juice of half a lime, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to make a simple avocado salsa.
Spread a generous layer of the spicy bean mixture on each tostada shell. Top with a spoonful of the avocado salsa.
Optional: Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco on top and drizzle with hot sauce for an extra kick.
