Black Bean Tostadas with Spicy Avocado Mash
These black bean tostadas are the perfect meatless main recipe. A slightly sweet avocado mash, like guacamole, is the base for seasoned black beans, fajita vegetables, cilantro, and cotija cheese. We especially love adding a hearty dash of our honey hot sauce at the end.
