Ingredients
  

  • 15 small corn tortillas
  • 2 teaspoon oil for sautéing the vegetables
  • ½ white onion chopped
  • ½ tomato chopped
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon black garlic salt or normal salt
  • 1 tin black beans in water no salt (drain some of the liquid)
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 whole avocado sliced
  • Spicy salsa optional, for topping

Equipment

  • baking tray

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the tortillas on a baking tray in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, chopped tomato, black garlic salt, and ground cumin. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add the drained black beans to the saucepan and cook until they start bubbling. Turn off the heat and mash the beans with a potato masher until smooth but still slightly chunky.
  4. Crumble the feta cheese and slice the avocado.
  5. Spread a generous layer of mashed beans over each baked tortilla. Top with feta crumbles, avocado slices, and your favourite spicy salsa if desired.
  6. Arrange the tostadas on a platter and serve immediately. Perfect for a quick, healthy lunch or sharing with family.
