Chicken Tostada
Prep and Cook Time: 28 minutes
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Ingredients:
6
(8-inch) flour tortillas
1
can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
2
teaspoons chili powder, divided
1
teaspoon ground cumin, divided
12
ounces chicken tenders
2
cups finely chopped tomatoes, well drained
1-1/2
cups (6 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
2
cups shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
Preparation:
1.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place tortillas on two large baking sheets, overlapping as little as possible. Spray both sides of tortillas with nonstick cooking spray. Bake 7 minutes. Turn tortillas over and bake 3 minutes more or until no longer soft and flexible.
2.
While tortillas are baking, place beans in food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to medium saucepan. Stir in salsa, 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon cumin; bring to a boil over medium heat.
3.
Cut chicken into 1/2-inch pieces. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Coat large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir 5 minutes or until cooked through.
4.
Spread bean mixture on tortillas to within 1/2 inch of edges. Top with chicken, tomatoes, onion and cheese. Bake 2 minutes or just until cheese is melted. Top with lettuce; serve immediately.
Note
For a special touch, top each tostada with a dollop of sour cream.
