Please ignore the lovely wallpaper…I have been patiently awaiting a full kitchen remodel. BUT, that is a different conversation for another day. 😉
Then add garlic, if you are like me then you add lots of garlic.
I have a mild obsession with garlic, and it must go in EVERYTHING! Okay maybe not ice cream, but you get the idea.
Add the beans and spices, and mix everything until it has more of a dip consistency. Not sure if that is really a thing, but in my kitchen it is. 😉

Now it’s time to get cooking.
Just add beans and cheese on the tostadas. I personally add onions at this time too, but you do whatever works best for you.
Bake on 350 for 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is nice and melted.
Feel free to add toppings after the black bean tostadas are finished baking. We like green onions, tomatoes, lettuce, salsa, cilantro, and avocado.
These black bean tostadas are SO easy, and super delicious! This is the perfect meal on those super busy days, or for when you just really aren’t feeling it…if you know what I mean! 😉
