Instructions

First, make the spicy veggies. Heat vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat, then stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower, bell pepper, jalapeno, and onion, then season with paprika, chili powder, cayenne, cumin, and salt. Stir to combine and sauté until vegetables are slightly softened, about 10 to 15 minutes, then remove from heat.
In the meantime, prepare the toppings:
(1) Warm the refried black beans.
(2) Combine the avocado in a small bowl with lime juice and salt and mash until smooth.
(3) Crumble the queso fresco.
Finally, assemble the tostadas. Spread a layer of refried beans on each tostada, then add 1 to 2 spoonfuls of the spicy veggies. Top with mashed avocado and crumbled queso fresco, and serve immediately.
