Servings: persons

2 limes
2 scallions
2 cups frozen corn (I like Trader Joe's organic corn)
2 tablespoons organic olive oil
1 jalepeno pepper
salt and pepper, to taste
1 pint organic grape tomatoes
4 6-inch flour tortillas
1 can (15 oz) organic black beans
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 avocado
1 ripe red bell pepper, cut in strips
green olives

1
Squeeze limes into a medium bowl. Thinly slice the scallions, and then add to the bowl along with the corn. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate after the corn has thawed.
2
In a separate bowl, mince the jalapeno. Halve the tomatoes and combine. Cover and refrigerate.
3
Preheat oven to 475. Arrange tortillas on two baking sheets, brushing both sides of the tostadas with olive oil. Rinse and drain beans and spread a layer over the tortillas. Add a scoop of the tomato/jalepeno mixture and minced garlic. Bake about 10 minutes, rotating sheets after 5 minutes.
4
Dice the avocado into 1/2 inch cubes and add to the corn mixture.
5
Serve tostadas with corn mixture, strips of red bell pepper, and a few green olives.
6
Can also be served over a bed of spinach rather than on tortillas. Just heat the beans on the stove before serving.
