Expert Tips
- Feeling adventurous? Try hotter peppers, such as serrano or even habanero, instead of the jalapeño in your black bean tostadas.
- The best bean tostadas have perfect avocado slices. Here's how: opt for just-ripe avocados so that the slices keep their shape after cutting. Cut avocado lengthwise through skin and flesh around the pit. With hands, slowly twist both sides of the avocado to separate. Gently slide large spoon under pit to remove. Use a spoon to scoop out each half of the avocado. With a knife, thinly slice each half.
- For an even easier version, skip the homemade salsa and top with your favorite jarred salsa.
