Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tostadas
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Juice of one lime
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 pieces Ripe avocados
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Minced red onion
- 1 piece Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup Crumbled queso fresco (optional)
- as needed Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
In the skillet, combine the black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through and well-seasoned. Transfer to a bowl and mash slightly with the back of a fork to create a chunky texture.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Add lime juice, diced tomatoes, minced red onion, cilantro, and minced garlic. Mash everything together until well combined to create guacamole. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if desired.
Preheat the tostadas in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes or until slightly crispy, or use them straight out of the package if already crisp.
Assemble the tostadas: Spread a layer of mashed black beans onto each tostada. Top with shredded chicken, a handful of shredded lettuce, and a generous dollop of guacamole.
Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco on top if desired, and drizzle with hot sauce for extra heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken and Black Bean Guacamole Tostadas!
