Ingredients

• 4 units Corn tostada shells
• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

• 1 cup Romaine lettuce
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 1 cup Unsalted black beans
• 0.5 cup Low sodium salsa

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breast with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 4

Once cooked, remove chicken from heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then shred the chicken using two forks.

Step 5

Place the tostada shells on a baking sheet and warm them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

While the shells warm, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice the flesh. Dice the tomato and shred the romaine lettuce.

Step 7

Rinse and drain the black beans and slightly mash them with a fork if desired.

Step 8

Assemble the tostadas by evenly spreading a layer of black beans on each shell. Top with shredded chicken, avocado slices, diced tomato, lettuce, and a dollop of low sodium salsa.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice over each tostada.

Step 10

Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors.
