Black Bean Avocado Tostadas

Kids and adults love this lunch, dinner, or snack option. It could be the crunch of the tortilla or the satisfying layers. Either way, it's a hit—and a healthy one: Buttery avocados, filled with healthy fat and potassium, marry perfectly with the black beans, which get a kick of saltiness and umami from the coconut aminos.

This recipe yields 6-8 servings

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit/176 degrees celsius. Brush a thin layer of olive oil on tortillas and lay them on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes until they are browned and appear crispy.

  2. In a bowl, add cooked black beans (rinsed and drained if using canned) and coconut aminos. Mash together until the beans resemble refried beans. In a second bowl, add avocados, the juice of two limes, and cilantro. Mash mixture together then add salt and pepper to taste. 

  3. In a pan on medium heat, melt ghee then crack eggs into the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, leaving the yoke runny.

  4. To serve, layer one crispy browned tortilla, a layer of the black bean mixture, a layer of the avocado mixture, and an egg. Top with pickled purple onions, cilantro, or hot sauce.
