Gluten-free vegetarian tostadas by Oishii Treats are totally delicious.  This meatless version of a classic Mexican dish is filled with black beans, spinach, tomatoes and feta.  You can choose to cook dried black beans and season them to your taste or for quicker results,  you can use canned beans.  When buying the corn tortillas or tostas, make sure to read the label carefully to verify that the food is not produced with machinery that is contaminated with wheat.
Serve these vegetarian tostadas with a cold Mexican beer and lime.
