Ingredients
  

12 mini corn tortillas

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 small red onion, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

½ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables and crisping the tortillas.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetable mixture, then add the ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

      Roast the Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetable mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and exhibit slight caramelization. Be sure to stir the vegetables halfway through the roasting time for even cooking.

        Crisp the Tortillas: While the vegetables are roasting, take another baking sheet and arrange the mini corn tortillas on it. Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Bake in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the tortillas turn golden and crispy.

          Layer the Tostada Stacks: Assemble the tostada stacks by placing one crispy tortilla on a serving plate. Top it with a layer of black beans, followed by a generous scoop of the roasted veggie mixture, and then add a few slices of avocado.

            Add the Finishing Touches: If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of each stack for added flavor. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and freshness.

              Serve with Zest: Just before serving, squeeze fresh lime juice over each tostada stack and accompany with lime wedges on the side for extra zing.
