Tostadas Deluxe

Tostadas Deluxe

• 2 tbsp light olive oil or vegetable oil
• 400g tin pinto or black beans drained
• 1 medium clove garlic, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 small red onion finely chopped
• 2 ripe tomatoes finely chopped
• 1 tbsp chopped jalapeño
• 1 avocado, halved, stoned, peeled and cut into small cubes
• 1 tbsp finely chopped coriander 
• 1 tbsp lime juice (approx half a lime)
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 ready made corn/flour tortillas
• 100g feta cheese, crumbled
• Pinch of sea salt 

Method:-

Heat the oil in a medium frying pan, add the beans and partially mash them with a fork, then add the garlic, ground cumin and jalapeño, fry for 5 minutes.

In a medium bowl, mix together the red onion, tomato, avocado, coriander and a pinch of sea salt.  Add the lime juice and extra virgin olive oil and toss the ingredients together.

Heat the tortillas in the microwave for a minute.

To assemble the tostadas, spread the bean mixture over the base of each tortilla, then spoon the salad mix over the top and finish with a crumbling of the feta cheese.  For an extra kick I also added Kankun habanero sauce over the top.  This is an ideal meat free Monday dinner with plenty of flavour.
