Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the husked ears of corn on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until slightly charred on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before cutting the kernels off the cob.
-
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Stir in the black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
To assemble the tostadas, start by spreading a layer of the black bean mixture onto each tostada shell. Top with a generous portion of grilled corn kernels and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
-
Place the tostadas on a baking sheet and broil in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3-5 minutes.
-
Remove the tostadas from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tostadas. Feel free to top with salsa and sour cream for an extra burst of flavor.
