Cilantro-Lime Chicken Tostada

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the chicken breast with cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Marinate for at least 30 minutes. Cook on a grill or stovetop until fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes per side. Let cool and shred.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry each flour tortilla until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tostadas

    On each fried tortilla, spread a layer of black beans, followed by shredded lettuce, shredded chicken, and diced tomato. Top with sour cream and hot sauce to taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the tortillas are crispy.
