These spicy veggie-packed tostadas won over my meat-loving husband. To make them even faster, shop for baked tostada shells. —Lauren Delaney-Wallace, Glen Carbon, Illinois

Ingredients

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-in. cubes
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 to 3 teaspoons minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
8 corn tortillas (6 inches)
Cooking spray
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Shredded lettuce, optional

Directions

Preheat broiler. Place sweet potato in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave, covered, on high until tender, 2-3 minutes. For sauce, mix mayonnaise, lime juice and chipotle pepper.
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; saute onion until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and seasonings; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in beans; heat through. Stir in sweet potato; keep warm.
In 2 batches, spritz both sides of tortillas with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet; broil 4-5 in. from heat until crisp and lightly browned, about 1 minute per side. Sprinkle immediately with cheese. To serve, top tortillas with sauce, bean mixture and, if desired, lettuce.
