Tostadas are one of those things that feel like a real snack — not a rice cake or a handful of nuts, but something you actually look forward to. The base is a corn tortilla baked until it snaps, and from there it's a quick layering job: warm seasoned black beans, smashed avocado, a squeeze of lime, and whatever fresh toppings you have on hand. It's the kind of snack that satisfies both crunch cravings and hunger, which means you're not reaching for something else twenty minutes later. The whole thing takes about 15 minutes, and most of that is the oven doing the work.
