Then, sprinkle the tortillas with the chili powder and salt mixture. Place the tortillas in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and crispy. Once done, remove from the skillet and let them cool while you prepare the toppings.

1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup of corn kernels
1 avocado, diced
1 small red onion, diced
1 tomato, diced
1/4 cup of cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
Now for the fun part - adding the toppings! In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the black beans, corn, avocado, red onion, tomato, and cilantro. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good mix and our protein-packed topping is ready to go!
Assemble and Serve
To assemble our vegetarian Mexican tostadas, place the crispy tortillas on a serving plate. Then, top each tortilla with a generous amount of the black bean and corn mixture. For some added crunch, you can also sprinkle some crushed tortilla chips on top. Serve with your favorite salsa or hot sauce, and enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
