Vegan Black Bean Tostadas Recipes

Steps:

• Place the walnuts in a large skillet and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until toasted, about 3 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a food processor and reserve the skillet. Add the beans to the food processor and pulse with the nuts until the mixture is fully incorporated but not mushy. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onions are softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the bean mixture, tomatoes, cumin, oregano and cayenne, and stir to incorporate. Cook until the mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush both sides of each of the corn tortillas with the remaining oil. Place on a baking sheet and bake until crispy, flipping halfway through, about 6 minutes total.
• Remove the tostadas from the oven and top with the bean mixture, then the shredded cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
• Add your desired toppings and enjoy!

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Combine refried black beans, black beans, green chiles, garlic powder, chili powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until warm and combined, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Place tostada shells on an ungreased baking sheet and evenly distribute bean mixture between them. Top with Monterey Jack cheese.
• Broil in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, watching carefully to avoid burning tostadas, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Serve immediately and garnish with salsa, lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole.
