Black Bean & Mango Tostadas

I got this recipe from the All You magazine. I adapted it to our preferences.

Ingredients:

  • 15 oz black beans, cooked
  • 1 T coconut oil/butter
  • 2 scallions/green onions, chopped (use all of it)
  • 1/2 t chili powder
  • 3/4 t salt
  • Tortillas (4) – or store bought like we’re doing this week!
  • 6 oz grated cheese – whatever you  like, they recommend monterey jack/pepper jack (we didn’t use any cheese)
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced (can substitute/add papaya, pineapple, or kiwi, etc.)
  • 1/4 small red onion, finely chopped (2 T)
  • 1 T lime juice (I used lemon since I didn’t have limes)
  • Cilantro/Parsley (optional, but we think essential)
  • Avocado, diced (optional)

To Make:

  1. Preheat oven to 425*F. Combine beans, oil/butter, scallions, chili powder and 1/2 t salt in a bowl.
  2. Mist a baking sheet with cooking spray (we use coconut oil based spray). Place tortillas on sheet and spoon bean mixture on top. Sprinkle with ceese. Bake until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
  3. While tostada are baking, combine mango, onion, lime juice and 1/4 t salt in a bowl. Remove tostadas from oven, spoon mango mixture on top and serve immedietely.
  4. Don’t forget to add the cilantrol and avocado!
