Ingredients

For the tostadas

  • 4 corn tortillas
  • Cooking spray
  • Flaky sea salt

For the refried black beans

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 14.5 oz. can of black beans slightly drained (leave some liquid)
  • Juice of 1/2 lime

Instructions

For the tostadas

  • Turn the oven on broil.
  • Spray down both sides of the corn tortilla, place them on a sheet pan.
  • Sprinkle on the flaky sea salt on one side.
  • Place under the broiler for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Take them out of the broiler and flip the tortillas. Sprinkle the other side with sea salt.
  • Place back under the broiler for another 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully! If the edges start to darken, take them out.
  • Place on a paper towel and let them cool.

For the refried black beans

  • While the tostadas are in the oven, make the black beans. Heat up a small pot over medium heat.
  • Add in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Add in the slightly drained can of black beans. Squeeze in the lime juice.
  • Cook on low heat for about 5-10 minutes, or until the black beans are easy to mash with the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Spread onto the tostada chip, then add whatever toppings for your tostada!

Notes

For the toppings on my tostada, I made this tilapia filling and topped it with my quick pickled red onions, avocado slices, and chopped fresh cilantro.
