‍

1. In a large sauté pan on medium heat, add the ground beef and break it up into small pieces.
2. Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, coriander, crushed red pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Mix the meat thoroughly and continue cooking until no pink remains.
3. In a small saucepan add the black beans, chicken broth, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and use a potato masher to mash the beans, they should be fairly smooth but still have a few chunks. Once mashed, cook for 2-3 minutes, and remove from the heat.
4. In a large skillet on medium heat add the avocado oil. Once the oil is hot, place the tortillas in the oil one at a time. Fry each side until golden brown and crispy. Place the tortilla on a cooling rack to drain any excess oil and repeat until all the tortillas are fried.
5. Assemble the tostadas by smearing the tortillas with the beans, adding the ground beef, and topping with lettuce, Siete cheese sauce, hot sauce of choice, cilantro, and avocado.
6. Enjoy!
