Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups shredded chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1 fresh jalapeño, thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded chicken with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and lime juice. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
To assemble the tostadas, place a layer of shredded lettuce on each sweet potato slice.
Top the lettuce with a generous portion of the cooked chicken.
Add slices of avocado, diced tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion on top of the chicken.
Sprinkle each tostada with fresh cilantro and a few slices of jalapeño for an extra kick.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Classic Mexican Tostadas!
