Description

A delicious, quick and easy meal that’s always a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE TOSTADAS:
  • 4 whole 6 Inch Corn Tortillas
  • 3 teaspoons Olive Oil, Divided
  • 1 cup Refried Beans (homemade Or Store Bought)
  • ⅔ cups Grated Cheddar Cheese (or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 whole Small Red Onion
  • 2 cups Shredded (cooked) Rotisserie Chicken
  • ½ teaspoons Chili Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice
  • ⅔ cups Shredded Lettuce
  • 1 whole Tomato, Seeded And Diced
  • 1 whole Avocado, Halved, Pitted, Peeled And Diced
  • ⅔ cups Fresh Cilantro, Stems Removed And Chopped
  • _____
  • FOR THE HOMEMADE REFRIED BEANS:
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ½ whole Small Onion, Finely Diced
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Do Not Drain
  • ½ teaspoons Chili Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Cumin
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne
  • 1 pinch Dried Oregano

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F). Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with 2 teaspoons oil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and crisp, 10 minutes or so. Remove, and top each tortilla with 1/4 cup refried beans, and then sprinkle with the shredded cheese. Return to oven. Bake until cheese is bubbling, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add half of the diced red onion and cook 3-5 minutes or until softened. Add chicken, chili powder and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is warmed through (about 2 minutes).

Then divide chicken among the tortillas and place on top of the melted cheese. Continue to layer on the lettuce, diced tomato, avocado, remaining onion, and cilantro. Serve warm.

Ali’s Tip:

If you’d like to make homemade refried beans, here was the quick version I threw together:

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute until onion is cooked and translucent. Add in the remaining ingredients and stir until beans are heated through.

Then either use a potato masher to mash up all of the ingredients. Or add them to a food processor and pulse until combined. (I like smooth refried beans, so I usually go for the food processor!)
