Mole Black Bean Tostadas with Slaw

Mole Black Bean Tostadas with Slaw by Alison's AllspiceA few months ago, I developed an easy homemade mole sauce recipe.  Most of the time I think of meat based dishes when I think of mole sauce.  Therefore, I have been playing with the sauce finding good vegetarian uses, like these mole black bean tostadas with slaw!
