Prepare the Beans:
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then sauté diced onions and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- Transfer the sautéed onions and garlic to a microwave-safe bowl containing black beans. Add diced chiles in adobo sauce, a sprinkle of dried basil, and a dash of garlic sea salt. Stir well to combine.
Mash the Beans:
- Microwave the bean mixture for 2 minutes, then use a potato masher to mash to your desired texture. Return to the microwave for 1 additional minute to fully warm through.
Crisp the Tortillas:
- Wipe the sauté pan clean with a paper towel, then spray with cooking oil. Increase heat to high and toast each tortilla in the pan until crispy, about 5-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Assemble the Tostadas:
- Spread a layer of the mashed black beans onto each crispy tortilla. Top with crumbled feta, fresh spinach leaves, and halved cherry tomatoes.
- Finish with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of additional feta, and a spoonful of salsa.
