Notes
- If you don't have refried beans, then simply mash a can of black beans with a little salt, seasoning of your choice (chili powder, oregano) and a few splashes of water until the desired consistency.
- Wait just before serving before prepping the avocado salad to prevent oxidation (and browning) of the avocado.
- Chop the avocado into small cubes so they fit well on the tostadas.
- Be as delicate as you can when topping the crispy tostadas since they can break if you press on them too much.
