Ingredients
  

  • 12 store-bought tostada shells
  • 2 16-ounce cans refried black beans
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 2 cups chopped chicken see link below for my favorite chopped chicken recipe
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup prepared cole slaw see link below for my favorite cole slaw recipe
  • Assorted toppings: shredded cheese cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, green onion, lime wedges, salsa, etc.

Instructions
 

  • In a large saute pan, stir together the refried beans and the 1/2 cup salsa. Stir in the chicken, and turn on heat to medium. Cook until heated through, stirring often, for 10-15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350. Place the tostada shells onto a baking sheet, and bake for 5-10 minutes, until crispy.
  • Divide the chicken and bean mixture evenly among the tostada shells, and top each with a layer of shredded lettuce, and then top with a small amount of the cole slaw. Finish with any combination of the remaining suggested toppings. Serve immediately.
One of the ingredients used here–cole slaw–is a very unconventional addition to Mexican dishes like this one, but the tangy crunch of the slaw is just right for cooling down the spicy kick of the chicken and black bean filling. So yummy! I use my own homemade slaw, but store-bought will work just fine.

These chicken and black bean tostadas are so fresh and yummy. Perfect for summer!

 

This recipe is a knock-out when prepared with my favorite chopped chicken recipe!
