Yeah, you're right. Cilantro is very volatile when cooked. I usually always just add it as a fresh topping, it has so much more flavor that way. Also, if you make a crema with cilantro, the fat seems to capture all the aromatic compounds and keep them nice and vibrant for a good amount of time
I mostly just cook from the heart, but here's what I did:
For the beans:
1 no. 3 can of whole black beans
1/2 of a white onion medium dice
2 jalapenos medium dice
Zest and juice of one lime
1 tbsp of whole cumin seeds
1 large pinch of kosher salt
I sauted the onion with a little salt until they were soft with brown edges, then I added the jalapenos and the beans (water and all), cumin, and the remainder of the salt. I let that simmer for for a while until the liquid reduced, then I added the lime zest and juice, and used a potato masher to crush up about 50% of the beans to give a bit of textural difference.
For the avocado crema:
1 whole avocado
1/2 cup sour cream
1 medium pinch kosher salt
Zest and juice of one lime
2-3 tbsp water
This one's easy, add all ingredients except water to a food processor and blend until evenly mixed, then add water until you've reached the consistency you want. That's it.
For assembly, I put a small amount of mozzarella on the tostada and microwaved it for a few seconds to get it melty, then added beans, followed by onions and then cilantro, top with crema and add the hot sauce of your choice.
I hope that's a good exclamation...
I can very much relate to what you're saying in this post. And it is incredibly frustrating
I don't think that was the point they were making...
I agree, he should. Posting this type of hackneyed hitpiece targeting one of the few people in power attempting to make a difference in progressive politics hurts the movement more than helping anyone. You are sewing the exact division that billionaires and conservatives hope you would. Does it feel good doing their bidding?
Yes, let's fracture the progressive movement even more...

It's also a very common practice in food trucks and street stalls in Southern California. That's where most of my Mexican food influence comes from.
A friend owns a local Indian market and was trying to photograph some of their food. I offered to give it a try. I'm pretty happy with the result.
