Prepare

- 2. Spread 1/2 cup beans and 1/3 cup corn in the center of each tortilla.
- 3. Place one baked tostada on top of the corn.

- 5. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
- 6. Place the wrap fold-side down on the griddle and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
- 7. Flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Repeat this process to cook the remaining stuffed tortillas.

Creamy Elote-Style Roasted Corn:
- 2 cups fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
- 1/3 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup crumbled cotija cheese
- 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 2 teaspoons thinly sliced green onions
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and coat the baking sheet with vegetable oil spray.
- 2. Spread the corn in an even layer on the baking sheet and coat again with vegetable oil spray. Roast for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden and slightly charred.
- 3. Remove the corn from the oven and cool it quickly.
- 4. In a large bowl, mix the corn with the remaining ingredients until well combined, then cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Pico de Gallo
- 1 tomato, cored and halved
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped white onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1 1/2 teaspoons very finely chopped jalapeño pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon canola oil or olive oil
- 1. Gently squeeze most of the seeds from the tomatoes, then dice them into 1/2-inch pieces.
- 2. In a medium bowl, toss together the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
- 3. Add the salt and lime juice, then stir in the oil until well combined.
- 4. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes so the flavors can blend.
Smashed Black Beans*
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 1/4 cup very finely chopped jalapeño pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cans low-sodium black beans, undrained
- 1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
- 2. When the oil is shimmering, add the garlic, jalapeño, and cumin and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 3. Stir in beans with their liquid and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 4. Mash coarsely with a fork or masher and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until thick.
- 5. Enjoy immediately or cool and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Chef Tips:
- Use leftover smashed beans as a quick dip for tortilla chips, a spread for quesadillas or tacos, or a base for a grain bowl.
- Use gloves to handle peppers. Pepper juice can burn the eyes. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling peppers.
- No Tostadas? Bake or air-fry corn tortillas at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 to 6 minutes until crispy.
- Prep Ahead: You can make the beans, corn, and tostadas up to 2 days ahead. Store separately and assemble just before cooking.
- Make It Your Way! Swap black beans for pinto or red beans for a different flavor.
