Black bean/Sweet Potato Tostada

This tasty tostada will tickle your taste-buds and keep you and your wallet healthy! However, I must warn, it's quite messy, so it may not be the best dish for the little ones.

Ingredients:
1 or 2 sweet potatoes (we used two- alot- but we had these two nights in a row)
1 can of black beans
Cilantro
Red onion
Avocado
fresh lime juice
Corn tortillas (I purchase the "Guerrero" brand from Costco. I freeze one bag, cause there's like a million.)

Preparation:
Turn oven to 425. Peel, cut and cube sweet potatoes. (I used garnet yams). Toss with olive oil and salt and pepper. Line baking pan with aluminum foil (for easy clean-up). Roast in oven until fork can pierce easily. I think maybe 20-30 min.
Meanwhile, chop cilantro, black beans, red onion, avocado, limes. Cook black beans.
Pull out corn tortillas. Brush with a little butter or olive oil. Broil the tortillas for just over 2 min. each side.
Garnish with toppings and drizzle with lime juice.
If your feeling crazy, add hot sauce and some cheese.

To make it more kid-friendly, it might be just as good "burrito" version. The corn tortillas are a little hard to chew through without making a gigantic mess on your plate.

If you are too cheap to purchase corn tortillas on top of the flour tortillas that you surely already have- don't be! Corn tortillas are super cheap, and the flavor really makes a difference! You can always freeze the leftover tortillas, or simply plan a few more meals using corn tortillas. We like fish tacos with corn tortillas.
