Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Canned refried beans
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Black beans
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 small Jalapeño
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Brush both sides of each corn tortilla with olive oil and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake the tortillas in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown. Check frequently to prevent burning.
While the tortillas are baking, warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Finely shred the romaine lettuce and dice the tomato and red onion. Set aside.
In a bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice, garlic powder, and salt to make a creamy avocado-lime spread.
If using, rinse and drain the canned black beans.
Optional: Finely chop the cilantro and jalapeño for additional topping.
Once the tostada shells are ready, spread a layer of warm refried beans over each shell.
Top the refried beans with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and red onion.
Add a few spoonfuls of black beans on top, if using.
Drizzle with the avocado-lime cream.
Garnish with cilantro and jalapeño slices, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan tostadas!
