Ingredients
  

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

8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

4 tostada shells

1 ripe avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese (optional, for topping)

Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bean Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to lightly mash the white beans, leaving some whole for added texture. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Set this mixture aside to let the flavors develop.

    Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent and tender. Next, stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.

      Cook the Mushrooms: Incorporate the sliced baby bella mushrooms into the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened and turned a golden brown. Season with smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

        Combine with Beans: Carefully fold the prepared mashed white beans into the sautéed mushroom mixture. Allow it to cook together for another 2-3 minutes, which will help the flavors meld beautifully. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or spices to your preference.

          Assemble the Tostadas: Lay out the tostada shells on a serving platter. Spread an even layer of the white bean and mushroom mixture on each shell. Top with slices of fresh avocado, and sprinkle crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese over the avocado if desired.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish each tostada with a generous sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro. For those who enjoy heat, drizzle a little hot sauce on top. Serve immediately and delight in this colorful and flavorful dish!
