Ingredients
- 8 tostada shells
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cabbage, shredded
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 lime, juiced
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 8 tostada shells, 1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup of shredded cabbage, 1/2 cup of salsa, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, 1 avocado (sliced), and the juice of 1 lime.
- In a small bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Toss well to coat the cabbage in the lime juice, which will add flavor and help to soften it slightly.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the drained black beans over medium heat. Stir occasionally, allowing them to warm through for about 3-5 minutes. If desired, add a pinch of salt or spices to enhance the flavor.
- While the beans are heating, prepare the tostada shells. If you prefer them crispy, you can place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and crispy.
- Once the beans are heated and the tostada shells are ready, assemble the tostadas. Start by placing a generous spoonful of the warm black beans on each tostada shell.
- Top the beans with a portion of the cabbage slaw, ensuring an even distribution across all tostadas.
- Next, add a spoonful of salsa on top of the slaw for an extra kick of flavor and moisture.
- Finally, garnish each tostada with slices of avocado. You can arrange them neatly or fan them out for a more decorative presentation.
- Serve the tostadas immediately while they are fresh and crispy. Enjoy your Superfast Bean Tostadas with Cabbage Slaw!
Tips
- To ensure your tostadas turn out crispy and flavorful, make sure to warm the black beans thoroughly and season with salt or spices to taste. If you prefer a crunchier tostada shell, don't hesitate to bake them in the oven for a few minutes. Also, be generous with the cabbage slaw and salsa toppings to balance out the flavors. Finally, assemble the tostadas just before serving to preserve the crunch and freshness of the ingredients.
