Healthy Double Decker Sweet Potato Tostada

Healthy Double Decker Sweet Potato Tostada


  • Author: Lee Hersh

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 large or 2 medium size sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 1/2 can black beans, low sodium
  • 1/2 can sweet corn
  • 1/4 large red onion, diced
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice (if you have it made already!)
  • 1/2 cup Colby Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • garnish: Greek yogurt, green onion, salsa, or avocado

Instructions

  1. First preheat oven to 400F. Then, spray two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Peel your sweet potato, and cut into small chunks. Set aside.
  3. Next, heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium/high heat. Then, add in sweet potato and red onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes. Add in black beans, sweet corn, and spices, and continue cooking for about a minute.
  4. Turn heat down to low/medium and pour in 1/4 – 1/3 cup of water and cover for about 3-5 minutes. This will help steam the sweet potatoes.
  5. Once your hash is complete, begin preparing your tostadas. In total this will make 4 single serve tostadas. Place one tortilla on the pan. Then, top with about 1/4 cup of hash (this is also where you would add the optional brown rice). Sprinkle on some cheese and place a second tortilla on top. Place another 1/4 cup of hash on top of that and sprinkle with more cheese. Finally place a third tortilla on top and sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Repeat 3 more times or until the hash is gone. I placed 2 tostadas on one baking sheet.
  7. Place tostadas in oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the cheese begins to bubble on top. By this time the tortillas should be crunchy.
  8. Serve hot with plain Greek yogurt, salsa, green onions, or avocado!
