  • Choose fresh black beans: Fresh black beans are more flavorful and have a better texture than canned beans. If using canned beans, rinse and drain them thoroughly before using.
  • Roast your own spices: Roasting spices brings out their flavor and aroma. If you have time, roast the cumin and chili powder in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before using.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The great thing about tostadas is that you can top them with whatever you like. Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce.
  • Make it a meal: Tostadas can be served as an appetizer or a main course. If you're serving them as a main course, consider adding a side of rice or beans.

Black bean tostadas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give black bean tostadas a try!
