Tips:

  • Prep your black beans in advance: Soaking and cooking dried black beans is a great way to save money and ensure you always have them on hand for a quick and healthy meal. If you don't have time to soak and cook your beans, canned black beans are a convenient alternative.
  • Mash your beans to the desired consistency: Depending on your preference, you can mash your black beans until they are smooth or leave them slightly chunky. If you like a chunky texture, use a potato masher or fork to mash the beans. For a smoother consistency, use a food processor or blender.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The beauty of tostadas is that you can customize them with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded chicken or beef, grilled vegetables, fresh salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
  • Get creative with your presentation: Tostadas are a great way to show off your culinary skills. Arrange your toppings in a visually appealing way and garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lime juice for a pop of color and flavor.
