Black Bean and Sweet Potato Tostadas

Crisp tostadas topped with roasted sweet potatoes and warm black beans, perfect for weeknight dinners or casual parties.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: avocado, salsa, cilantro, lime

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, then toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the black beans in a small pot over medium heat until warm.
  5. In a separate skillet, toast the corn tortillas until crispy.
  6. Assemble the tostadas by layering the roasted sweet potatoes and black beans on each tortilla.

Notes

Store the roasted sweet potatoes and warmed black beans in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Do not store assembled tostadas; they get soggy.
