Ingredients

6 tostada shells (store-bought or homemade)

2 medium ripe avocados

1 Tbsp fresh lime juice

1/4 tsp garlic powder, divided

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 (16 oz) can Rosarita Traditional Refried Beans

1 (10 oz) can Rotel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies Mild, drained

3/4 tsp ancho chili powder

1/2 tsp ground cumin

2 cups shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce

2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken or shredded cooked chicken breasts

1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

1 cup pico de gallo (homemade or store-bought)

6 Tbsp sour cream

Instructions

  1. Mash the avocado with lime juice and 1/8 tsp garlic powder using a fork, leaving a slightly chunky texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. In a small saucepan, combine refried beans, drained canned tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and the remaining 1/8 tsp garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until heated through.

  3. To assemble, layer each tostada shell with guacamole, bean mixture, lettuce, chicken, cheese, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Vegetarian option: Omit the chicken and add extra beans or a meat substitute.

  • Spicy variation: Add diced jalapeños to the pico de gallo or use hot salsa.

  • Dairy-free: Skip the cheese and sour cream to make the tostadas dairy-free.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Assemble the tostadas fresh to keep them crispy.
