MEXICAN CHICKEN TOSTADAS


I love Mexican food like millions of people out there. I mean what’s not to love. It’s close to home, spicy and hearty.

These Mexican chicken tostadas can be on your weeknight dinner table in 20 minutes.
All they take is a can of black beans,a bowl of super easy guacamole, shredded chicken (I usually make a big batch and freeze it) and feta cheese.
All ingredients are highly customizable and I recommend to use what you have on hand. You can use store-bought tostada shells but be aware they contain artificial colours, hydrogenated oils, and are impossible to find organic. You can, I mean not the end of the world, but if you have time I highly recommend to make your own – super easy
