Ingredients
- 4 Soft corn tortillas (or 4 premade tostada shells)
- Spray oil as needed
- 1 can White beans (15 oz - drained and rinsed)
- 1-2 TBSP avocado oil as needed
- 1 handful fresh cilantro stalks and leaves torn
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ lime (juiced)
- 1/2-3/4 tsp cumin
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
TASTY TOPPINGS
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 oz grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4-1/2 cup chopped tomato
- fresh cilantro for topping
- sour cream and/or hot sauce/salsa for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Spray both sides of each soft corn tortilla and place directly on a baking/cookie sheet. Bake for 5 minutes then flip and cook for an additonal 5-7 minutes or until nice and crispy. Remove from baking pan and set aside to cool.
- In a food processor, blend 1 can of white beans (drained and rinsed) with avocado oil, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Taste and add extras of your favoites! I like my tostadas spicy so I added extra cayenne pepper.
- Decide if you want your white bean filling warmed or room temperature (I honestly love it both ways) and if desired, warm blended beans in the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stove.
- Spread each crispy tostada with your white bean mixture and top with lettuce, cheese, toamto, and cilantro. You can also drizzle a little sour cream and hot sauce/salsa on top and feel free to add any of the tasty topping options from the note section below. Enjoy!
