Prepare the Aioli

  • Mix together mayonnaise, garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside.

Prepare the Black Beans

  • In a pot, heat the olive oil. Add the black beans and season with salt and spices. Cook until heated through.

Assemble the Tostada

  • Spread a layer of aioli on each tostada.
  • Top with a layer of black beans, then add sliced bell pepper and shredded cabbage.

Voilà!

  • Serve the tostada immediately, garnished with fresh herbs.

Recipe notes

  • Aioli: For a lighter version, substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • Tostadas: You can toast or fry your own tortillas to make tostadas, or use store-bought ones for convenience.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to your tostadas. Grilled corn, avocado, and tomatoes all work great.
  • Store any leftovers separately, and assemble the tostadas right before serving to keep them crunchy.
