Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400F. Place the tortillas in the oven, straight on the rack, and bake for 2-4 minutes, until browned and crispy. Keep a close eye on them since they burn very quickly. When crisp, remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Step 2
Add the black beans, water, lime juice, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin and sea salt (if using) to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer the beans uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the water has evaporated. Mash with fork or blend with a hand blender to desired consistency.
Step 3
To serve, divide the black bean mash between tostadas and top with shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, tomato salsa and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately.
