Vegan Black Bean Tostadas Recipes

EASY VEGAN BLACK BEAN TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Add the olive oil to a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and heat for 1 minute.
• Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until translucent.
• Stir in the garlic and taco seasoning. Cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in the black beans (including the liquid from the can). Bring to a simmer and mash with back of a wooden spoon until mixture is thick and most of the beans are mashed.
• Stir in the red wine vinegar and salt (if needed).
• Toast corn tortillas over gas burners on the stove or in toaster oven. (If you have a gas stove, I just set the tortilla directly on the burner over medium to high heat. Let it cook 30-45 seconds or until charred and flip to repeat on the other side.)
• Turn oven broiler on high. Add corn tortillas to a baking sheet and spread with 1/4 of bean mixture on each. Sprinkle cheese on each, dividing evenly between to 4 tostadas. Broil until cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes.
• Make corn salsa by mixing all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
• Add corn salsa to the tostadas and top with more fresh cilantro, chopped avocado, hot sauce or other desired toppings.
• Serve immediately.

BLACK BEAN TOSTADAS

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.

VEGAN TOSTADAS

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!

SHEET-PAN TOSTADAS WITH BLACK BEANS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees and arrange racks in the top and bottom thirds of oven. On a rimmed sheet pan, toss together peppers, onion, 1/4 cup oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and sage, then spread vegetables out in an even layer. Top with thyme sprigs, and roast on the top rack until tender and lightly browned, 35 to 45 minutes, tossing every 15 minutes or so.
• On a separate rimmed sheet pan, toss together beans, tomatoes, 1/4 cup oil, chipotle chile and sauce, garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cumin and salt to taste. Roast on the bottom rack, stirring every 10 minutes, until juices have thickened, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Brush tortillas on both sides with oil, then arrange in an even layer on a third rimmed baking sheet (it's O.K. if the tortillas overlap slightly). Bake until crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.
• To make the cumin salt, grate the zest from the lime. In a small bowl, stir together lime zest, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cumin. Cut naked lime into wedges.
• To serve, top tortillas with beans, peppers, avocado, queso fresco (if desired), cilantro and a squeeze of lime from the wedges. Let people sprinkle on lime-cumin salt to taste.
