Directions

Step 1
Drain and rinse black beans. In a small saucepan, mash half of the beans with a fork. Add minced garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir in remaining whole beans.
Step 2
Heat the bean mixture over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Slice avocado and prepare pico de gallo (or use store-bought). Chop cilantro.
Step 4
Assemble tostadas: spread a generous layer of seasoned black beans onto each corn tostada.
Step 5
Top with sliced avocado, a spoonful of pico de gallo, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and chopped cilantro.
Step 6
Serve immediately for optimal crispiness.
