For extra flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the bean mixture. If you don't have a broiler, you can bake the tostadas in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Get creative with your toppings! Consider adding diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, or a drizzle of hot sauce. To make these vegan, use vegan cheese and sour cream alternatives.
