    Homemade Black Bean Chipotle Baked Tostadas

    Main Courses

    Recently I had the most delicious tostadas at a Mexican restaurant. Naturally, my first instinct was to whip up a Food Heaven version of the recipe. So, we present, Homemade Black Bean Chipotle Tostadas. These tostadas have incredibly vibrant and nutritious ingredients, making them the perfect meal for pretty much any time of the day. 

    By now, you know we love adding black beans in a ton of our recipes. Black beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, B vitamins, potassium, iron, and other minerals. They can also be extremely cost effective. For example, buying dry beans can seriously stretch the food dollar, as they cost only pennies per serving. Of course, this can take some time to prepare, so we’re totally about the use of canned beans, too. 

    This recipe encourages you to tap into your creativity with two different tostada versions and a handful of different ingredients you can add for toppings. Begin by preheating the oven to 400F. Using a oil mister, spray both sides of each tortilla lightly and place onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. While that’s happening, add the chipotle peppers and black beans to a food processor. Blend until a consistent paste has formed and set aside. In a bowl, add the avocado and juice of one lime, mash together with a fork or pestle, and set aside. Once the tortillas are crisp and browned, remove from the oven and layer evenly with the black bean paste first, and then add the avocado spread.

    Now for the toppings! For the portabella tostadas, sauté the mushroom slices in olive oil for 3-4 minutes. For the egg tostadas, cook the eggs your favorite way in olive oil. Top the tostadas with the mushrooms and/or eggs, and finish off by adding red onion, scallions, cilantro, and/or feta. Season with salt & smoked paprika, to taste. Enjoy!

    Which toppings do you prefer? Let us know what creative ingredients you come up with for these Homemade Black Bean Chipotle Tostadas in the comments below!

    LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Vall LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Valley with 5 acres of land! (Even typing that makes me anxious lolol) All reno updates will be on @bohiohomes. I’ve been wanting a home close by to retreat into nature and considered a few locations but honestly, the racial tension and lack of diversity upstate gave me mixed feelings. I actually went to school in New Paltz (and love it SO MUCH) so I’m not sure why I didn’t consider buying here sooner. I took a trip this summer to go apple picking and was like wait, New Paltz is perfect! It’s welcoming, diverse (thanks to all the city kids and professors) and there’s so many fun things to do!! It’s also just 90 minutes away from the city. 

I’ve officially moved in and will be renovating this a-frame beauty built in the early 70’s. There is SO much work to do. The home has solid bones but needs major updates and I have to condition the land. We even have a cute pond! Very scary and very exciting. Eventually, I may open it up for retreats or for people who want to disconnect from the NYC chaos. For now, it’ll be home. Follow along for renovation updates on @bohiohomes 💕💕
    THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’ THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’s one thing you already do that you can build a habit around?! 

Ps have you been listening to our habits series
