Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup corn, frozen or canned
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 8 tostada shells, store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, optional
  • Hot sauce, for serving, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set oven to 425°F and position rack in the center.
  2. Season Sweet Potatoes: Combine diced sweet potato with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss until thoroughly coated.
  3. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Arrange seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
  4. Prepare Bean Mixture: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add black beans and corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until warmed through.
  5. Season Bean Mixture: Remove from heat. Stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Assemble Tostadas: Layer each tostada shell with a generous spoonful of the bean-corn mixture, followed by roasted sweet potato cubes.
  7. Add Toppings and Serve: Top with sliced avocado and sprinkle with feta cheese if desired. Serve immediately with hot sauce on the side.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add your favorite hot sauce directly into the bean mixture.
  • Feel free to customize toppings as per your preference.
  • Leftover ingredients can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
