Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
- 2
In a large bowl, toss sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
~25 min - 3
While sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the chipotle glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
~5 min - 4
Drain and rinse black beans. Once sweet potatoes are roasted, add them to a large skillet over medium heat with the black beans. Pour the chipotle glaze over the sweet potato and black bean mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the glaze has thickened.
~10 min - 5
Prepare the mango salsa. Dice the mango, finely chop the red onion and cilantro, and finely mince the jalapeno (remove seeds for less heat). Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir gently.
~10 min - 6
Lightly brush corn tortillas with a little oil or place them directly on a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Toast each side for 1-2 minutes until slightly crisp and pliable, or bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes until crisp.
~7 min - 7
Assemble the tostadas. Spoon the sweet potato and black bean mixture onto the toasted tortillas, then top generously with the mango salsa.
Tips
- For extra crisp tostadas, bake them in a single layer on a baking sheet at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
- Leftover sweet potato and black bean mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for other meals, like in burritos or bowls.
