Black Bean Tostadas with Mango Salsa
Ingredients
Black Bean Tostadas
- 4 small corn tortillas
- 1 tsp avocado oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 15 oz black beans, drained
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lime, juiced
Slaw
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1/2 lime, juiced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400º fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the corn tortillas onto the baking sheet and bake for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp.
- Meanwhile, heat a small saucepan on low heat and add the avocado oil. Add the minced garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes. Watch closely to ensure the garlic doesn’t burn. Add the black beans, including the little bit of liquid left behind. Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Cook on low heat, stirring the beans for 2-3 minutes. Once they’re warm, start mashing the beans with a potato masher.
- Allow the beans to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. For thicker beans, cook longer, allowing the liquid to further evaporate. Mix in lime juice.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients for the mango salsa. In another small bowl, mix the shredded cabbage with lime juice.
- To serve, divide the beans evenly between the four tortillas. Top with shredded cabbage, then with mango salsa. Serve immediately.
