Mexican Black Bean Salad Tostada

From Weight Watchers


Ingredients

Yields 4 servings at 3 points per serving
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 Tablespoons red onion, minced
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced (about 1 Tablespoon)
  • 1/2 half medium jicama, peeled and diced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup frozen corn kernels, sweet, rinsed under hot water to defrost
  • 1/4 cup avocado, diced (about 1/2 small avocado) *I liked it better without the avocado.
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes, quartered (about 12)
  • 4 Tablespoons canned green chili peppers, diced (drained)
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice, from about 1 large lime
  • 2 Tablespoons cilantro, fresh, chopped (dried cilantro tastes like straw, use fresh!)
  • 1 teaspoon olice oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 4 small corn tortillas


Directions

  • Combine all ingredients, except tortillas, in a large bowl; mix to combine.
  • Toast tortillas and top each with about 3/4 cup of salad; serve.
  • Yields 1 tostada per serving.
  • Note: To make this a CORE item, omit the tortillas and serve with fresh pepper chunks for scopping or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.
  • Consider using baked tortilla chips instead of the corn tortillas and serving this as a snack or appetizer.
