  2. Roast the cauliflower for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden and tender.
  3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the corn tortillas for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  4. In a small bowl, combine sliced red onions, vinegar, and salt. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes to pickle.
  5. Assemble the tostadas starting with a tortilla base, spreading black beans, followed by roasted cauliflower, and drizzling with queso.
  6. Top each tostada with pickled onions for added flavor and crunch. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.
