Ingredients
- 8 pieces corn tostada shells

- 1 can canned refried beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and arrange the corn tostada shells on a baking sheet.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the red onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the black beans, refried beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until heated through, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
While the beans are cooking, place the tostada shells in the oven for 5 minutes to crisp them up.
Step 5
Remove the tostada shells from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Step 6
To assemble the tostadas, spread a generous spoonful of the bean mixture onto each crispy tostada shell.
Step 7
Top with sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the top before enjoying.
