Quick Black Bean Tostadas with Peppers and Onions
 
 
One of my go-to dinners for when I need an easy and stress-free dinner is homemade black bean tostadas with peppers and onions. They're fresh, tasty, and a family-friendly meal!
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • ½ cup olive oil, divided
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 bell peppers, mixed colors, seeded and thinly sliced
  • salt, to taste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 2 (15 oz) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • queso fresco, for topping
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 400F.
  2. Lightly brush the tortillas on both sides with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven. Flip the tortillas and bake for another 5 minutes, or until crispy.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the onion to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes or until starting to brown. Add the bell peppers and cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until they are browned in spots. Season with salt to taste, then stir in the thyme, oregano, chili powder, and black beans. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Spoon the black bean and vegetable mixture over the crispy tortilla shells and top with queso fresco. Serve immediately,
