CLASS
- Place the walnuts in a large skillet and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until toasted, about 3 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a food processor and reserve the skillet. Add the beans to the food processor and pulse with the nuts until the mixture is fully incorporated but not mushy. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onions are softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the bean mixture, tomatoes, cumin, oregano and cayenne, and stir to incorporate. Cook until the mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brush both sides of each of the corn tortillas with the remaining oil. Place on a baking sheet and bake until crispy, flipping halfway through, about 6 minutes total.
- Remove the tostadas from the oven and top with the bean mixture, then the shredded cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Add your desired toppings and enjoy!
Cook’s Note
I melt vegan cheese on top of mine, but you can skip it if you’re not a fan, or if you do dairy, use regular cheese.
