Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 tostada shells
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1 avocado sliced

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the tostada shells on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until they are crispy and lightly golden.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, refried beans, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
  3. Spread a layer of the chicken mixture over each tostada shell, about 1/4 cup per shell.
  4. Return the topped tostadas to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to heat through.
  5. Remove from the oven and top each tostada with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, salsa, and avocado slices.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve immediately.
