• 1 lime
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 small jalapeño
• 1 cup corn kernels
• 0.5 cup vegan sour cream
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Place the tostada shells on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until they are crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, warm the refried black beans over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally until heated through, then remove from heat.

Dice the avocados and place them into a bowl. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the avocado and mash with a fork until smooth. Set aside.

Step 5

Quarter the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the red onion, jalapeño, and fresh cilantro. Combine them in a mixing bowl along with the corn kernels. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and mix well to make a salsa.

Step 6

In another small bowl, combine the vegan sour cream and hot sauce.

Step 7

To assemble the tostadas, spread a generous layer of refried beans onto each tostada shell.

Step 8

Top with a spoonful of the mashed avocado, followed by the tomato-corn salsa, and drizzle with the spicy vegan sour cream.

Step 9

Garnish with additional cilantro leaves if desired.
