Fresh and Fit Recipe: Black Bean and Salmon Tostadas

Ingredients
Eight 6 inch tortillas
Canola oil cooking spray
1 six ounce can boneless, skinless wild Alaskan salmon, drained
1 avocado, diced
2 tablespoons minced jalapenos, plus 2 tablespoons pickling juice from jar

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained
3 tablespoons reduced fat sour cream
2 tablespoons salsa
2 scallions, chopped
Lime wedges (optional)

Preparation

2. Coat tortillas on both sides with cooking spray. Place on two baking sheets, bake turning once until golden brown, about 12 to 14 minutes.
3. Combine salmon, avocado, and jalapenos in a bowl. Combine cabbage, cilantro, and the pickling juice in another bowl. Process black beans, sour cream, salsa, and scallions in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a microwave safe bowl. Cover and microwave on High until hot, about two minutes.
