Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.

  2. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
