Chicken Tostadas

It’s a beautiful Saturday, and I was undecided on what to make for lunch! I wanted to make something simple and easy. Also, a dish that will not have me standing in the kitchen long. These delicious chicken Tostadas came to mind. Let me show how I made it.

What you will need

  • 1 pack of boneless and skinless chicken ( I used chicken tenderloins)
  • 1 pack of shredded Mexican cheese
  • White Corn Tortillas ( this recipe is for 6 Tostadas)
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • At least 1 cup of black beans
  • 1 bunch of cilantro
  • Your favorite salsa ( I used medium)
  • Cooking oil( I used olive oil)
  • Seasoning used on chicken: 1 packet of sazon, 1/2 packet of chicken goya, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, cumin powder, chili powder

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Prepare chicken by cleaning and cutting chicken into small pieces. Season chicken with seasonings mentioned above or your own seasoning blend.
  3. Add 1 tbsp of olive or vegetable oil to a pan. Heat oil on medium high, then add chicken. Cook chicken until done and brown.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, on a baking sheet, add 6 tortillas. On both sides of the tortilla spread olive oil. Put the tortillas in the oven for 5-6 minutes,then take pan out and flip tortillas, bake for another 5 minutes. Then, take the tortillas out of the oven.
  5. Here is the fun part! Start layering the corn tortillas with chicken, salsa, black beans, red onion, cheese, and top with cilantro. ( These toppings are optional, add your favorites!)
  6. Place back in the oven for 5-7 minutes, depending on how much cheese you added. You are only placing in the oven to melt cheese!
