Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted

1 small lime, juiced (plus extra for garnish)

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 corn tostada shells

1 medium tomato, diced

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and diced (optional)

1/2 cup feta cheese or crumbled queso fresco (optional)

Extra lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Chickpeas: In a medium bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunky for texture. Add the lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Set aside.

    Prepare the Avocado: In a separate bowl, scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash it slightly with a fork. Add a pinch of salt and some lime juice to taste, mixing until creamy yet slightly chunky.

      Assemble the Tostadas:

        - Place the corn tostada shells on a serving platter.

          - Start by spreading a generous layer of the mashed chickpea mixture on each tostada.

            - Follow with a layer of the mashed avocado, smoothing it over the chickpeas.

              Top with Fresh Ingredients:

                - Evenly distribute the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeños (if using) atop each tostada.

                  - Finish with crumbled feta cheese or queso fresco, if desired.

                    Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with extra lime juice and serve with additional lime wedges on the side for squeezing. Enjoy immediately while the tostadas are crisp!
