Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 2 cups Cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry each corn tortilla individually for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
In a small saucepan, warm the refried beans over low heat until smooth and spreadable. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, toss the cooked, shredded chicken with the taco seasoning. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
Prepare the creamy sauce by whisking together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Assemble the tostadas by spreading a layer of refried beans on each crispy tortilla. Top with a generous amount of the seasoned chicken.
Add shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes over the chicken layer. Sprinkle with shredded Mexican cheese blend.
Drizzle the prepared creamy sauce over the toppings. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Creamy Tostadas!
