Who says tacos get to have all the fun? Tostadas are the open faced version of the taco typically served on crispy corn tortillas (gluten-free!). For a lighter, healthier version we used avocado crema as the base instead of refried beans -- don't worry we didn't leave out the pinto beans!  We used a store-bought rotisserie chicken and kicked it up with fire roasted tomatoes, green chillies and our tangy, spicy Chilli Lime Seasoning to create the perfect weeknight dinner option.
