Ingredients
  

For the Tostadas

  • 8 pieces Corn Tortillas Can be bought pre-made or easily fried at home.
  • ½ cup Vegetable Oil Substitute with olive oil for a healthier option.

For the Filling

  • 2 cups Rotisserie Chicken Can be replaced with shredded cooked turkey or tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning Homemade seasoning can be used as a healthier alternative.
  • 1 can Black Beans Canned beans are quick; dried beans can be used for a more authentic taste.

For the Toppings

  • 1 cup Salsa Fresh salsa or any preferred flavor can be substituted.
  • 1 cup Tomatoes Substitutions include diced bell peppers or avocados.
  • 2 cups Lettuce Any salad greens can be used as a substitute.
  • ¼ cup Cilantro Parsley or green onions can be used for a different flavor profile.
  • ½ cup Queso Fresco Feta or a dairy-free cheese can be great alternatives.
  • ½ cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt can be used as a healthier alternative.

Instructions
 

Method

  • Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the corn tortillas until they turn golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Once done, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • In the same skillet, add diced rotisserie chicken along with taco seasoning. Sauté over medium heat until heated through, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the flavorful chicken to a bowl.
  • In the same skillet, combine black beans, chopped cilantro, and your favorite salsa. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Taking a crispy tortilla, spread a layer of the black bean mixture first. Top it with the sautéed chicken, chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco for a delightful burst of flavor.
  • Drizzle with sour cream and any additional toppings like sliced jalapeños or avocados that you adore. Serve immediately for the best crunch!
