Tortillas and Toppings

Jerk Chicken

Cuban Black Beans

Lime Cilantro Cabbage Slaw

Method

Preparation of Jerk Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breast with jerk seasoning and olive oil. Make sure the chicken is well-coated with the seasoning. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Once done, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Preparation of Cuban Black Beans

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a saucepan over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute.

  2. 4

    Combine with Beans

    Add the rinsed black beans, cumin, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

Preparation of Lime Cilantro Cabbage Slaw

  1. 5

    Mix the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss well to ensure all the ingredients are mixed and the cabbage is coated with lime juice.

Assembly of Tostados

  1. 6

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the corn tortillas on a baking sheet and bake for about 5-7 minutes, until they are slightly crispy.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Tostados

    Layer each baked tortilla with a generous scoop of the Cuban black beans, followed by the jerk chicken strips, and top with Monterey Jack cheese.

  3. 8

    Melt the Cheese

    Return the assembled tostados to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  4. 9

    Serve with Slaw

    Remove from the oven and top each tostado with the lime cilantro cabbage slaw. Serve immediately and enjoy!
