Chilli Lime Chicken Tostadas

Chilli Lime Chicken Tostadas

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. 

Ingredients

For avocado crema:
2 avocados, ripe
1/2 cup sour cream
Pinch of kosher salt
3 Tbs lime juice, freshly squeezed, plus more for serving
1 clove garlic
1 Tbs Spicewalla Chilli Lime 

For the chicken:
2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1/2 sweet onion, small diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can fire roasted tomatoes
1 can green chillies
1 can pinto beans, drained
2 Tbs Spicewalla Chilli Lime
Salt and Pepper, to taste.

For assembly:
6-8 corn tostadas, warmed in the oven
Pico de Gallo
Fresh cilantro
