Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tostadas
- 3 cups Cooked, shredded chicken
- 2 large Avocados
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm the tostadas. Place the corn tostadas on a baking sheet and heat them for about 5 minutes or until they are warm and slightly crispy.
2. While the tostadas are warming, prepare the avocado mixture. In a medium-sized bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until slightly creamy but still chunky.
3. Add lime juice, salt, ground black pepper, and minced garlic to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine.
4. In another bowl, toss the shredded chicken with 1 tablespoon of lime juice and a pinch of salt for added flavor.
5. Assemble the tostadas: Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado mixture on each tostada.
6. Top the avocado layer with shredded chicken, followed by shredded lettuce and cherry tomatoes.
7. Drizzle with sour cream or Greek yogurt. Add a splash of hot sauce if desired.
8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
