  • 0.5 red onion, finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded chicken with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and lime juice. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

To assemble the tostadas, place a layer of shredded lettuce on each sweet potato slice.
