We love tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, and tostadas. If it were up to my husband, I would make all the above every day of the week.
Tostadas are an easy and cheap dish that I really should make more often.
Lime Chicken Tostadas
(I may have added another tostada to my plate after this picture...:)...)
I don't really follow a recipe for these and I think the way I make them always changes.
This is how I made them tonight...
Here is what you'll need:
-Cooked, cubed chicken (I used a rotisserie chicken-always a favorite)
-2 limes
-chili powder
-cumin
-tostada shells (we like the crunchy ones)
-cilantro
-monterrey/colby jack cheese
-refried beans
-chopped onion
Preheat oven to 350. Sprinkle the chicken with the chili powder and cumin (however much you like) and squeeze the juice of the two limes on the chicken. Mix well. I put the refried beans in the microwave for 2 minutes so they would spread easier. Spread the beans on the shells and then put the chicken on top and sprinkle with the cheese and onions. Place the shells on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven for about 10 minutes or so or until the cheese is melted the way you like. Cut up the avocado and cilantro and garnish the shells.
And that is it! I actually meant to put sour cream on them and forgot...they were good without, but I am thinking the leftovers tomorrow will have the addition of sour cream.
We served them with yellow rice (I am a yellow rice lover!)
