Vegan ultimate black bean tostadas

Ingredients

"Refried" black beans:

• 1 22oz can of black beans (or 2 10oz cans)

• 1/2 large onion chopped (any kind except green works)

• 1 jalapeno chopped (optional)

• Zest and juice of 1 lime

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro OR 1-2 tbsp of dried cilantro

• 1-2 tbsp of taco seasoning

• 1-2 tbsp of olive, avocado, or some neutral oil for cooking

• Pinch of salt

Guacamole

Mango salsa

Tostada rounds

Instructions

Prepare the black beans:

1. In a large preheated pan on medium high heat (6-7), add the jalapeno, onions and black beans. Cook them until the beans are soft and the onions are translucent.

2. Add the lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, and taco seasoning. Mix until combined.

3. Remove beans from heat. Mash them using a potato masher or run them through the food processor. They don't have to be a paste but need to be spreadable on the rounds.

Prepare the tostadas:

1. Once the black beans are finished, toast the tostada rounds by placing them into an oven or air fryer and heating them to package instructions.

2. Next spread a layer of the black beans.

3. Add a layer of guac on top of the black beans.

4. Then top with some mango salsa and enjoy!
