Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Low-carb tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 whole Avocado
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, juice from the lime, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the spice mixture over the chicken, ensuring they are well-coated.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the tostada toppings: slice the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, and shred the lettuce.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Place the low-carb tortillas on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, until they are crispy.
Assemble the tostadas: spread a layer of shredded lettuce on each crispy tortilla, followed by a generous amount of shredded chicken.
Top with cherry tomato slices, diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and fresh cilantro.
Serve the tostadas immediately, enjoying the crispiness and fresh flavors.
