Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Arrange tortillas in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until crisp and light brown around edges, 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, mix beans and 1/2 cup salsa. Cook, stirring as needed and mashing beans, until heated through, about 5 minutes.

  5. Place tortillas on plates. Spread each with bean mixture, then top with cheese, lettuce, corn mixture, avocado, sour cream, scallions and cilantro.

Notes

To easily dice an avocado: Cut it in half lengthwise by running a knife through the center, around the pit. Twist the halves to release one half from the pit. Place that half flat-side down on a cutting board and peel off the skin. Cut the avocado into bite-size cubes.
