Black Bean & Salmon Tostadas

I made this recipe last night and didn't care for it. As the recipe called for, I used canned salmon - a good quality canned salmon from Trader Joe's and picked out the skin and bones. I think the strong flavor and texture of canned salmon overwhelms the milder flavors of the black beans and coleslaw. I think freshly cooked salmon or, even better, a milder, freshly cooked or blackened white fish might work. Had to add considerable amounts of hot sauce, jalapenos and sour cream to make it palatable.

Made as written, as well as using smoked Sockeye salmon trimmings. Both were excellent!

As so many others recommended, I used fresh frozen salmon fillet. Not a fan of canned salmon. Absolutely loved it! Pros: So healthy Cons: choose frozen, or fresh salmon, as opposed to mushy canned salmon.

LOVED IT! I made this for dinner the other night because my husband & I are trying to cook healthy and more exciting flavored dinners. We made this and LOVE IT!!! We had the leftovers last night as well, and I can't wait to make it again. Some suggestions: make sure the canned salmon is boneless. I assumed all canned salmon was boneless. Boy was I wrong! It's a pain to pick teeny bones out of a can of salmon. The flavor of the coleslaw after I mixed in all the ingredients wasn't as sweet as I wanted so I added about a tablespoon of sugar to the mix. I also added a teeny bit of salt to the bean mix. I like texture to my food, so I didn't blend the beans & sour cream to the point where they were fully liquid. I left a bit of texture. Overall, I loved the dish, and it turned out better than I expected. Pros: Not too much prep involved Cons: None

Super easy, very tasty and filling!This was so simple and easy, and yet so delicious! I loved that everything had it's own taste and no seasonings were needed at all. The flavors just mix together so well! This will definitely become a new favorite around my house.

amazingly delicious this dish was amazing. when i decided to make it i didn't have a food processor readily available but had to borrow one from mom. I was surprised that this called for canned salmon but in the end it was amazing. the flavors combined so well there was no need for salt and pepper. i was shocked when i tasted it that it was so good. the taste of spicy was so subtle. i'm passing this recipe on to everyone i know! Pros: easy to make, fast to make, surprisingly yummy Cons: it's hard to get tortillas just right, food processor a must.

Creative Combination This recipe tasted better than I could have imagined. Who knew salmon would pair so well with tortillas and black beans? Instead of using canned salmon, I bought fresh, grilled it, and shred it. I also added a mixture of grilled onions and peppers for additional nutritional value. These were delicious and tasted way better than the greasy restaurant versions.

Wonderful!!I really don't like fish, but I decided to go with the Salmon since it's pre-cooked and I was too lazy to prepare chicken. I modified it in a few ways:1. Kidney beans instead of black (cheaper where I live).2. Saurkraut instead of cabbage/coleslaw (adds a bit of a sour taste). 3. Whole-grain tortillas instead of corn (a bit healthier).4.Tore up fresh spinach leaves and sprinkled them over the top for a bit of calcium and fresh taste. Very excellent. I'll definitely make this again, and am looking forward to the leftovers!!Pros: everything! delicious, customizable, fast, easyCons: Absolutely nothing

AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! We had to sprinkle a little salt and drizzle more lime juice on the top. Definitely a keeper.

Love this recipe! I agree with other comments that it's filling for a healthy, low cal meal. We used refried black beans, canned atlantic salmon, fresh corn, fresh sliced jalapenos, diced tomato, diced red onion (about 1/4 onion), cole slaw and a squeeze of lime, which really made the dish. Satisfying and relatively easy to make. I burnt the tortillas the first round, they only needed to sit in the oven about 5-7 minutes.

This is a simple recipe but, it could have used a kick. I really enjoyed it but, next time I will be adding some more jalapenos. It was a fabulous mix of flavors/texres and i would defnilty make it again.

This is a great starter recipe, I have made it twice but didn't follow exact recipe. I used refried beans, added salmon with onions & pepper mixed to top, placed two sardines on top of each, added shredded cabbage without additions, a little cheese (to make kid-friendly) and a dollop of peach pineapple chipotle sauce and cooked in the oven. My kids made this meal for lunch, quick & easy and very yummy. Great way to get omega 3s into our diet, with minimal oven time during the warm spring/summer months.

I had some leftover broiled salmon, so I flaked it with a fork and used it instead of canned salmon. Delicious! It was a little hot for me with the jalapeno juice AND the chopped jalapenos (maybe the peppers I used were a little stronger than others), so I might use less juice in the slaw next time.
