Lay the tortillas on the baking sheet and toast until they are firm and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.  (Turn them a couple of times while they are toasting and watch carefully because they can go quickly from nicely brown to burned.)  Let tortillas cool for a few minutes.

Cut the avocado in half, remove seed and discard, scrape out the avocado flesh into a small bowl, and quickly mix in the lime juice, mashing the avocado and stirring well so the lime is well-distributed (to keep the avocado from turning brown.)

Guacamole Tostadas with Black Bean Tortillas

self rising flour

refried black beans,

water

cumin

paprika

garlic powder

salt

Olive oil

Guacamole, homemade

Optional toppings: cheese, pickled onions, jalapeños, lettuce, tomato, cilantro, salsa, hot sauce

Add the flour and spices to a medium sized bowl and mix.  Next, add the refried beans and 2-3 tablespoons water.  The amount of water will depend on how watery or dry your beans are.  Use a fork to start mixing the beans into the flour and then use your hands to knead the dough and form it into a ball.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add a few teaspoons of olive oil.  Pinch off a little bit of the dough and form it into a ball.  Place the ball between two pieces of parchment paper and press down with a large glass until you get a circle that is about 1/4 inch thick.

Place the tortilla into the hot pan and cook a few minutes each side, until browned.  Remove from the skillet and let cool for a few minutes.

Top with a big spoonful of guacamole, spread over the tortilla and then top with your favorite toppings.  Enjoy!

Made this last night, fun to make and everyone enjoyed it. I made extra tortillas so we could have leftovers for lunch.

outstanding!   dough only made 4 for me and i tried to stretch them out as much as i could without breaking.  i put the dough on a wooden cutting board and used the glass to press - no need for parchment paper.  served with pan-fried plantains.  plantains have to be very ripe - almost all black to maximize sweetness.  so yum!
