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

  • Mash the avocados with lime juice and 1/8 tsp of garlic powder using a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • In a small saucepan, combine refried beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and the remaining 1/8 tsp of garlic powder. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Assemble the tostadas by layering each shell with guacamole, followed by the bean mixture, lettuce, chicken, cheese, pico de gallo, and a spoonful of sour cream. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Omit the chicken and use extra beans or grilled vegetables instead.

  • Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or hot sauce to the pico de gallo for extra heat.

  • Homemade Tostadas: Brush corn tortillas with oil and bake at 400°F for 4-5 minutes per side to make crispy tostada shells.
