Instructions

First, Make the Lime Cilantro Slaw:

In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper.
Stir to combine.
Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the other components of your meal.

Next, Make The Mango Salsa:

In a medium bowl, stir together mango, red onion, cilantro, 1 Tbsp jalapeño, lime juice, and salt.
Stir to combine well.
Assemble your tostadas.

Make the Quick Guacamole:

In a small bowl, mash the avocados with cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper until you’ve reached your desired smoothness.

To Assemble Your Tostadas:

Heat your refried black beans on the stovetop, or in the microwave.
Let everyone build their own tostadas, spreading black beans on the tostada shells and layering with toppings.
Layer with guacamole, lime cilantro slaw, fresh mango salsa, and any other desired taco toppings.
Enjoy!

Notes

*It’s nearly impossible to tell how spicy a jalapeño will be from the outside. I recommend starting small in your salsa, as you can always add more! If you don’t like jalapeños, or want a mild version, omit jalapeño and add 1/4-1/2 tsp chili powder to your salsa instead.
