How to Make Black Bean Tostada

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place 6 corn tortillas (6-inch diameter) on two baking sheets.
  3. Lightly spray tortillas with non-stick cooking spray.
  4. Bake for 5 minutes, or until lightly crispy.
  5. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup enchilada sauce, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon dried onion flakes. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of rinsed and drained black beans to the sauce. Gently mash about half of the beans with a fork to thicken the sauce.
  7. Remove sauce from heat and let cool slightly while you prepare your toppings.
  8. Spread the black bean mixture evenly onto each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  9. Top each tostada with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and tortillas are crispy.
  11. Let cool slightly before adding your favorite toppings: shredded lettuce (1 cup), diced tomatoes (1/2 cup), sliced avocado (1/2 avocado), 2 tablespoons sour cream per tostada, and 2 slices of jalapeño per tostada.
  12. Cut each tostada into quarters and serve immediately.
