Ingredients
- Tostada Base Sauce (1 small can tomato paste, 1/4 tsp chili powder, 1/4 tsp coriander, 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp sweet paprika, 1/4 tsp granulated garlic) - Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine.
- 1/2 cup dried quinoa
- 1 15oz can black beans
- 6 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 avocado
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrot
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare your quinoa black bean mixture. Divide your tostada base into two equal portions. Rinse you quinoa & black beans. In a small sauce pot, stir together half the tostada sauce base and 1 cup water. Add in your quinoa and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook until the water is absorbed and your quinoa is tender. Full with a fork and stir in the beans as well as 1/4 tsp salt. Cover to keep warm.
- When your oven is pre-heated, take our a sheet pan and place the tortillas on the pan. Spray with oil or brush both sides with olive oil. Season with salt. Place in oven for 12-15 minutes, or until tortillas are crisp flipping halfway. Transfer tortillas to a plate and begin making your slaw.
- Cut your tomatoes, and shred your cabbage & carrots. In a medium bowl, toss all your ingredients. Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and one tablespoon of oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix your slaw and set aside.
- In a small sauce pan over medium heat, stir together your remaining tostada sauce base with 1/2 cup water. Stir occasionally until warmed through. This should take 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer your tortillas to individual plates. Top with quinoa - black bean mixture and toasted sauce. Spoon on your slaw and garnish with sliced avocado. Serve with lime wedges.
