Sweet Potato Tostadas
Serves 2
40 minutes
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Make Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, add sweet potatoes, 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp sea salt, 1 tsp cumin, and oregano. Mix until sweet potatoes are well coated. Transfer onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, or until crispy on the outside.
- Make Black Beans: Heat remaining olive oil in a small saucepan. Stir in black beans, ½ tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp cumin. Sauté beans for about 3 minutes. Use a fork to mash the beans until its a paste. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp lime juice. Add 1 tbsp of water if too dry. Mix well and set aside.
- Make Guacamole: Mash the avocado in a bowl. Add tomato, cilantro, onion, and juice of half a lime. Add sea salt to taste if desired. Set aside.
- Toast Tortillas: Five minutes before the sweet potatoes are done, place tortillas in a single layer in the oven on an upper rack. Do not overlap the tortillas as you want them to get hard and crispy. Let the tortillas cool for a couple of minutes before assembling.
- Assemble the Tostadas: Spread some refried black beans onto each tortilla. Add the guacamole and sweet potatoes. Garnish with sprouts. Drizzle on some of your favourite hot sauce if desired.
