Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tostadas
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 15-ounce can Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Roma tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, diced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Lime, cut into wedges
- 1 piece Avocado, sliced (optional)
- to taste Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the tostadas on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to make them extra crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the black beans to the skillet along with ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for 3-5 minutes until heated through. Using a fork, mash the beans slightly to create a creamy texture, then remove from heat.
Warm the shredded chicken in a separate skillet over medium heat or in the microwave if it's pre-cooked. If desired, season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper.
To assemble the tostadas, spread a layer of the mashed black beans onto each tostada. Top with shredded chicken, followed by a generous sprinkle of crumbled goat cheese.
Layer on fresh toppings such as diced Roma tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Add avocado slices if using.
Serve the tostadas with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top and optional hot sauce for extra heat.
Enjoy your Chicken Black Bean and Goat Cheese Tostadas while they're warm and crispy!
