Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
5 small baby sweet peppers (about 1 cup chopped)
3 scallions (about 2/3 cup sliced)
1 14.5 ounce can cooked black beans
¼ cup bean liquid or water
8 pickled jalapeño slices
2 flour tortillas
1 avocado
1/2 teaspoon lime juice
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups lightly packed shredded red cabbage
1 cup corn kernels from 1 corn cob
3 large radishes (sliced)
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup cojita cheese
2 tablespoons pepitas

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the peppers and scallions until softened. Stir in the black beans and liquid, and simmer until most of the liquid has been absorbed - about 5 - 6 minutes. Stir in the jalapeño slices and remove from the heat.
  • Brush the remaining olive oil on a couple of flour tortillas. Warm up a skillet over medium-low heat and add a tortilla. Cook for about 30 seconds, flip and cook another 30 seconds. Repeat with the other tortilla(s). They should be slightly crispy.
  • Peel, cube and smash the guacamole, lime juice and salt in a small bowl. Spread on the tortillas.
  • Combine the cabbage, corn, and radishes in a medium bowl. Whisk together the lime juice, oil, honey, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over the salad and toss with your hands until evenly coated.
  • Top the tortillas with a layer of black beans, then salad. Finish with a flourish of pepitas and cojita cheese before serving.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon white vinegar
Pinch of salt
2 cups shredded green cabbage
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup 1/4-inch-thick slices peeled jicama, or additional shredded cabbage
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 corn tortillas
Extra-virgin olive oil or cooking spray
Salt, to taste
2 cans (16 ounces each) vegetarian refried beans, or 1 batch homemade refried beans
3 large ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese

Steps:

  • Make the pickled onions: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced onions with the lime juice, vinegar and salt and stir until the onions are well coated. Let the onions sit while you make the slaw and tostadas. The pickled onions can be stored in a jar in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • Make the slaw: In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, cilantro, jicama, lime juice, cumin and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
  • Assemble the tostadas: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush or spray both sides of each tortilla generously with olive oil or cooking spray, season with salt, and arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 4 minutes, then flip and bake for 4 to 8 more minutes, until the tortillas are crispy.
  • Gently heat the refried beans in the microwave or on the stovetop. In a large bowl, mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt, to taste.
  • Spread refried beans evenly over each tortilla. Add a layer of smashed avocado and top with the slaw, pickled onions, tomatoes and queso fresco. Serve immediately.

15-MINUTE BEAN, EGG AND AVOCADO TOSTADAS



15-Minute Bean, Egg and Avocado Tostadas image

We use a greased muffin tin to cook 8 eggs all at once, a major time saver! Inspired by huevos rancheros, we love this with salsa verde, but you can try it with your favorite red salsa too.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 jarred roasted red bell peppers
8 tostada shells
1 cup salsa verde
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
Nonstick cooking spray
8 large eggs
Kosher salt
One 16-ounce can refried black beans
1 ripe avocado

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack to the center of the oven and preheat the broiler. Meanwhile, coat 8 cups of the muffin tin generously with cooking spray. Crack an egg into each, sprinkle with salt and broil until the tops are golden brown and the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes (a small knife inserted into the egg helps to check doneness). Remove the muffin tin from the oven and set aside.
  • While the eggs are cooking, put the refried beans in a small bowl, cover and microwave until hot, about 2 minutes. Dice the avocado. Slice the roasted red peppers into strips.
  • Arrange 2 tostadas on each of 4 plates. Spoon and spread some of the beans on each tostada. Use a small off-set spatula or spoon to scoop out the eggs from the muffin tin and place one, browned-side down, on top of each tostada. Spoon salsa verde over each egg and top with roasted pepper, avocado and cheese.

BEAN TOSTADAS



Bean Tostadas image

This is by far my most popular tostada, appealing to both vegetarians and meat-eaters. If you don't have time to cook the black beans, you could use canned beans and refry them with the spices called for in my recipe for refried black beans. You'll have to moisten them with water.

Categories     dinner, weekday, appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 batch refried black beans or refried pinto beans (use same method for pintos as for black beans) (about 2 cups)
8 corn tortillas, halved and toasted in the microwave
1 medium or large avocado, mashed and seasoned with lime juice, salt, garlic if desired, cumin and chili (chopped fresh or powder)
1/3 cup crumbled queso fresco (about 1 1/2 ounces)
3 or 4 leaves romaine lettuce, cut in chiffonade
1/2 to 1 cup salsa, fresh or bottled
Cilantro leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Warm the refried beans in a 325-degree oven while you toast the tortilla halves. If the refried beans are too thick to spread evenly, thin out with some bean broth. Spread a spoonful of the refried beans onto each tortilla half. Top with a spoonful of the mashed avocado mixture and a sprinkle of queso fresco. Add a handful of lettuce and a spoonful of salsa. Arrange on a platter or plates and serve.
