Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units Corn tostada shells
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 unit Lime
- 1 unit Ripe avocado
- 1 unit Tomato
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 1 cup Unsalted black beans
- 0.5 cup Low sodium salsa
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Season the chicken breast with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove chicken from heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then shred the chicken using two forks.
Place the tostada shells on a baking sheet and warm them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes.
While the shells warm, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice the flesh. Dice the tomato and shred the romaine lettuce.
Rinse and drain the black beans and slightly mash them with a fork if desired.
Assemble the tostadas by evenly spreading a layer of black beans on each shell. Top with shredded chicken, avocado slices, diced tomato, lettuce, and a dollop of low sodium salsa.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice over each tostada.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors.
