Roasted Sweet Potato Tostadas

No utensils needed when you make these ROASTED SWEET POTATO TOSTADAS! They’re the ultimate finger food!

Who can say no to chili scented roasted sweet potatoes, smashed black beans, cheese, salsa, and avocado served up on a crisp corn tortilla?! Not me. That’s for sure!

I love the combination of sweet potatoes, black beans, and avocado. I use these three ingredients together at least once a week for my family’s meals. Something about this trifecta is super satisfying and easy to incorporate into so many recipes.

Oh yea, and they are incredibly healthy snacks recipes for you! In fact, all three are on my “superfood” list and here’s why:

Sweet Potatoes:  Loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber, which can help with controlling glucose levels.

Black Beans:  Help lower cholesterol naturally due to their high fiber, antioxidants, folic acid, and magnesium content.

Avocados:  An excellent source of monounsaturated fatty acids, which may combat inflammation in the body.
