• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn tostadas
• 1 cup Refried beans
• 2 cups Shredded lettuce
• 2 pieces Roma tomatoes, diced
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the seasoning mixture evenly onto both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 4

Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 5

While the chicken is resting, warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and fresh lime juice to create a lime crema. Set aside.

Step 7

To assemble the tostadas, spread a layer of refried beans onto each tostada shell.

Step 8

Top the beans with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a few slices of grilled chicken.

Step 9

Drizzle the lime crema over the top and garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced avocado.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
