Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the broiler in your oven. Place the poblano pepper on a baking sheet and broil, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered on all sides. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Once done, transfer the pepper to a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it steam for 10 minutes. After steaming, peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and chop the pepper into small pieces.
-
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
-
Add the black beans to the skillet along with the chopped poblano pepper. Season with salt and pepper, then cook for an additional 5 minutes, mashing some of the beans with the back of a spoon to thicken the mixture.
-
Assemble the tostadas by spreading a generous amount of the black bean mixture onto each tostada shell. Top with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese, and fresh cilantro leaves.
-
Serve the Black Bean and Poblano Tostadas with your favorite salsa on the side for dipping or drizzling.
