• 2 pieces Avocado
• 1 piece Lime
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 piece Red onion
• 0.5 cup Cilantro
• 1 cup Fresh corn kernels
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Brush each corn tortilla with a light layer of olive oil on both sides and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden brown. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Rinse and drain the black beans and mash them slightly in a bowl with a fork. Mix in ground cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, and black pepper.

Step 5

Prepare the avocado by scooping out the flesh into a separate bowl. Mash it with a fork and add the juice of the lime, mixing well to combine for a simple guacamole.

Step 6

Dice the cherry tomatoes and red onion. Add them to a small bowl with the corn kernels and chopped cilantro. Mix and add white vinegar, stirring to combine for the relish.

Step 7

Once the tortillas are cooled, spread a layer of mashed black beans onto each tostada.

Step 8

Add a dollop of the prepared guacamole on top of the beans.

Step 9

Sprinkle the tomato and corn relish over each tostada, distributing evenly.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy the crunchy, flavorful, and low-sodium tostadas!
