Ingredients

• 8 Corn tortillas
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Refried beans
• 2 cups Cooked and shredded chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 cups Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry each corn tortilla individually for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, warm the refried beans over low heat until smooth and spreadable. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, toss the cooked, shredded chicken with the taco seasoning. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

Step 4

Prepare the creamy sauce by whisking together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 5

Assemble the tostadas by spreading a layer of refried beans on each crispy tortilla. Top with a generous amount of the seasoned chicken.

Step 6

Add shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes over the chicken layer. Sprinkle with shredded Mexican cheese blend.

Step 7

Drizzle the prepared creamy sauce over the toppings. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Creamy Tostadas!
