1. Garlic Infusion
Heat the oil in a medium skillet until hot, then add the finely chopped garlic and cook for around one minute, until aromatic.
2. Cooking and Mashing Beans
Add the black beans with their liquid to the skillet. Mash the beans in the skillet with a masher or the back of a spoon, cooking for about 10 minutes until they thicken and can hold their shape on a spoon.
3. Seasoning and Spreading Beans
Season the beans with salt to taste, and then generously spread the bean mixture onto the tostadas.
Start with high-quality corn tortillas for the best flavor and texture.
Use ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce or cabbage, and ripe avocados for texture and flavor balance.
Use marinated and well-cooked meats or consider vegetarian options like queso fresco or grilled vegetables.
Sauté garlic and onions before adding beans and consider a teaspoon of bacon fat or lard for richness.
Ensure it's well-seasoned and consider a pinch of sugar to balance acidity.
