Ingredients

• 6 pieces Corn tostadas (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Taco seasoning
• 2 cups Romaine lettuce (shredded)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 cup Canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 whole Avocado (sliced)
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 whole Lime (juiced)
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) if using store-bought tostadas to warm them. Place tostadas on a baking sheet and set aside.

Step 2

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded or diced chicken and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the seasoning. Cook for 3-5 minutes until warmed through, then remove from heat.

Step 3

If desired, warm the tostadas in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly crisp (skip this step if they are already crispy).

Step 4

Prepare the creamy lime dressing by combining sour cream, lime juice, and hot sauce (if using) in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 5

Assemble the tostada salads: Start by layering a handful of shredded romaine lettuce on each tostada. Top with seasoned chicken, black beans, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded Mexican cheese.

Step 6

Garnish each tostada with slices of avocado and a drizzle of the creamy lime dressing. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top for added flavor.

Step 7

Serve immediately with additional lime wedges and hot sauce on the side, if desired. Enjoy your Easy Chicken Tostada Salads!
