Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 425°F. Spread frozen corn on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt, then broil 4–5 minutes until charred and tender.

  2. Step 2

    Push corn to the side. Arrange tostada shells on the pan and top each with a handful of mozzarella, then broil 2–3 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.

  3. Step 3

    Warm black beans in a small skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring in a pinch of salt and cumin until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Spoon warm black beans onto each tostada, then top with charred corn and cotija cheese.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle hot sauce over the tostadas and finish with a squeeze of lime juice and a scatter of fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
