Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 whole Lime
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Low-carb tortillas
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 1 whole Avocado
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, juice from the lime, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the spice mixture over the chicken, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 4

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear.

Step 5

While the chicken is baking, prepare the tostada toppings: slice the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, and shred the lettuce.

Step 6

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.

Step 7

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Place the low-carb tortillas on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, until they are crispy.

Step 8

Assemble the tostadas: spread a layer of shredded lettuce on each crispy tortilla, followed by a generous amount of shredded chicken.

Step 9

Top with cherry tomato slices, diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and fresh cilantro.

Step 10

Serve the tostadas immediately, enjoying the crispiness and fresh flavors.
