Ingredients

• 8 pieces Corn tostadas
• 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
• 1 cup Canned refried beans
• 6 medium Tomatillos
• 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
• 1 large Jalapeño pepper
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 0.5 medium White onion
• 1 large Lime
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Avocado
• 2 cups Shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cups Crumbled queso fresco
• 0.25 cups Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to warm up the tostadas if desired, for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the salsa verde: Remove husks from the tomatillos and rinse them to remove the sticky residue. Boil the tomatillos in a pot of water for 5 minutes or until softened. Drain and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a blender, combine boiled tomatillos, fresh cilantro, jalapeño, garlic cloves, white onion, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed and set aside.

Step 4

Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan or in the microwave until warm and spreadable.

Step 5

If the shredded chicken is cold, warm it in a pan or microwave, seasoning with a pinch of salt if necessary.

Step 6

Assemble the tostadas: Spread a layer of warm refried beans on each tostada shell. Top with a portion of shredded chicken.

Step 7

Drizzle the prepared salsa verde over the chicken, then layer shredded lettuce and slices of avocado.

Step 8

Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco over each tostada, and finish with a dollop of sour cream for added creaminess.

Step 9

Serve immediately with extra salsa verde on the side.
