Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) white beans (cannellini or great northern), rinsed and drained

8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, diced

2 tbsp olive oil, divided

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

8 corn tostadas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beans: In a medium bowl, mash the white beans slightly with a fork or potato masher, leaving some whole for texture. Season them with a pinch of salt and pepper, and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for an additional 5 minutes until they are golden and tender.

      Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Combine with Beans: Add the mashed and whole white beans to the skillet, gently mixing everything together. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the beans to warm through.

          Prepare the Tostadas: While the mushroom and bean mixture is cooking, warm the corn tostadas in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 5-7 minutes until crispy, or you can briefly toast them on a skillet.

            Assemble the Tostadas: Top each warm tostada with a generous scoop of the sautéed garlic mushroom and white bean mixture. Add a handful of shredded lettuce and a few slices of avocado on top.

              Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh cilantro over each tostada and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
