Ingredients
  

4 corn tostada shells

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup shredded romaine lettuce

½ cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese

¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beans: In a medium bowl, mash half of the black beans with a fork, leaving the other half whole. Mix in lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. This adds flavor and creaminess to your nacho beans.

    Assemble Your Tostadas: Place each tostada shell on a flat surface. Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of the black bean mixture evenly on each shell.

      Top It Off: Layer on the shredded romaine lettuce, followed by the diced avocado and halved cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco over the top.

        Add the Creamy Finish: Dot each tostada with a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy contrast.

          Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top and a squeeze of extra lime juice for an added zest.

            Serve: Arrange the tostadas on a serving platter and serve immediately while the shells are crunchy!
