Prepare Toppings: Shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and chop the cilantro. Set all toppings aside in separate bowls for easy assembly later. This takes about 5 minutes.
Cook the Black Beans: Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, and oregano, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the drained black beans, water, and 1/2 tsp of salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Mash the beans with a potato masher or fork to your desired consistency, leaving some texture. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Keep warm.
Fry the Tostada Shells: Pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until it shimmers (about 350°F / 175°C). A drop of water should sizzle immediately. Carefully place one tortilla in the hot oil and fry for 45-60 seconds per side, until golden brown and rigid. Use tongs to flip. Remove the fried tortilla, let excess oil drip off, and place it on a wire rack to cool. Immediately sprinkle with a pinch of the remaining salt. Repeat with all tortillas.
Assemble and Serve: To assemble, spread a generous layer of the warm black bean mixture onto each crispy tostada shell. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Finish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
