Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces corn tostada shells
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup refried beans
- 2 cups shredded green cabbage
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup black beans, drained
- 1 piece diced avocado
- 1 cup diced tomato
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Combine the shredded chicken with 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning. Add the mixture to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until heated through and well-seasoned. Set aside.
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Keep warm.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red onion, lime juice, mayonnaise, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Toss until thoroughly coated. Set aside the slaw.
Prepare the tostada assembly station: Place the tostada shells on a flat surface and gather all the toppings—spiced chicken, refried beans, slaw, black beans, diced avocado, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and hot sauce (if using).
Spread a thin layer of warm refried beans on each tostada shell.
Top with a generous scoop of the seasoned chicken mixture, followed by a handful of slaw.
Add a sprinkle of black beans, diced avocado, and diced tomato over the slaw.
Drizzle sour cream over the tostadas, using a squeeze bottle or spoon for easy application.
Garnish each tostada with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a dash of hot sauce (if you like extra heat).
Serve immediately and enjoy your festive Pinata Tostadas!
