step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Drain and rinse the beans. Halve the tomatoes. Halve, peel, and medium dice the onion. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then medium dice. In a bowl, combine the guacamole and 1 tablespoon of the sour cream; season with salt and pepper.

2 Cook & mash the beans

In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced white bottoms of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly softened. Add the drained beans and 1/4 cup of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and mashing the beans with a potato masher (or the back of a spoon), 4 to 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Transfer to a bowl; stir in the remaining sour cream. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm. Rinse and wipe out the pan.

3 Toast the tortillas

Place the tortillas on a sheet pan. Using a fork, prick the tortillas all over to prevent air bubbles from forming. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; turn to coat. Toast in the oven 4 to 6 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven.

4 Cook the sausage & vegetables

Meanwhile, in the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium- high until hot. Add the sausage; break the meat apart with a spoon. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the halved tomatoes, diced onion, and diced pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sugar, 2 tablespoons of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), and as much of the chile paste as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the sausage is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

5 Assemble the tostadas & serve your dish

Assemble the tostadas using the toasted tortillas, mashed beans, and cooked vegetables and sausage. Serve the tostadas topped with the creamy guacamole. Garnish with the cotija and sliced green tops of the scallions. Enjoy!
