Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- In an even layer spread tortillas on prepared baking sheet, and brush both sides light with olive oil.
- Place in the oven to bake for 10 minutes. While they're baking, grate your cheese!
- Remove pan from oven, and evenly distribute the shredded cheese over the tortillas. Return to the oven to bake for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- In a large bowl toss the romain lettuce with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, and chili powder. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small saucepan heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium flame. Add 1/2 of the diced onion and the jalapeño and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, or until fragrant. Add beans with their liquid and 3 sprigs of cilantro. Cook on low for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place tortillas on a large serving platter, or individual plates. Top each tortilla with a little lettuce, tomato, red onion, pepper, avocado, cilantro, and corn. Top the salad with warm black beans and scallions. Serve at once!
CHICKEN TOSTADA SALAD
If I don't have any tostada shells on hand for this speedy salad, I just heat taco shells, break them in half and lay them flat on the plates. It works just as well. Great Southwest flavor! -Edie DeSpain, Logan, Utah

MEXICAN TOSTADA SALAD
Layered with taco-style ingredients, this colorful salad is bursting with fresh market vegetables. Sturdier lettuce, suce as iceburg, romaine or leaf, is the best here. No tostada?? Use handfuls of tortilla chips or broken taco shells. If desired, garnish with spoonfuls of sour cream or plain yogurt and lime wedges.
