Mexican Black Bean Salad Tostada Recipe

If you’re a fan of Mexican, be sure to share one of your favorite dishes in the comments. I’d love to hear!

My husband and I ate a lot more Mexican when we lived in St. Louis. We haven’t had a lot of it since we’ve moved, but it certainly hasn’t changed our love for the food.

I love to make tacos at home, but wanted to try something a little different. I stumbled upon this WW Tostada Recipe and thought why not? It was quite tasty.

The original recipe calls for jicama, but I wasn’t able to find any. So I did a little digging and found that water chestnuts were a good substitute — they wouldn’t alter the taste, but would add a bit of crunch.

The hubs enjoyed them too, which is always a win-win. Black beans, corn, avocado and cilantro are some of my favorite ingredients. This is a perfectly flavorful dish that will be kind to your diet. Enjoy!

This Mexican specialty features avocado, corn and lime juice tossed together and piled high on crunchy corn tortillas. This tostada recipe is also WW friendly. Find this deliciousness at livelaughrowe.com

Did you know that you can buy diced water chestnuts? A great addition to tuna salad or anywhere
where you want some crunch and zero points. In my world we call this recipe Cowboy Caviar!

I did not know water chestnuts were zero points, I will be adding them to my larder the time I go to the store.
