Chicken, Guacamole and Bean Tostadas


Ingredients
  • 6 tostada shells, store-bought or homemade*
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder, divided
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (16 oz) can Rosarita Traditional Refried Beans
  • 1 (10oz) can Rotel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, drained (use Mild if you don't like spicy food)
  • 3/4 tsp ancho chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 cups shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken or shredded cooked chicken breasts
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 cup pico de gallo, homemade or store-bought**
  • Sour cream
Directions
  • Using a fork mash avocado with lime juice and 1/8 tsp garlic powder to a slightly chunky texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. In a small saucepan mix together refried beans, drained canned tomatoes, chili powder, cumin and remaining 1/8 tsp garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until heated through.
  • To assemble tostadas, layer each tostada shell with guacamole (avocado mixture), bean mixture, lettuce, chicken, cheese, pico de gallo and sour cream. Serve immediately.
  • *The store-bought tostada shells can usually be found by the tortillas. If making the tostada shells yourself preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush both sides of 6 yellow corn tortillas lightly with olive or vegetable oil (about 1 Tbsp total). Season lightly with salt then bake on a rimmed baking sheet about 4 - 5 mins per side until crisp.
  • **For homemade pico de gallo - in a medium bowl toss together 2 diced roma tomatoes, 3 Tbsp diced yellow onion, 2 Tbsp minced cilantro and 2 tsp lime juice. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
