Jump to Recipe

I don’t know about you but I think tostadas are so much fun to eat. I love building all those yummy layers and it’s fun to let the family get involved and make their own. Each person has their unique way, but no matter how you stack the goodies, it is sure to be delicious.

These chicken tostadas are unapologetically simple. Beans, cheese, seasoned chicken breast, a sprinkle of crunchy lettuce, and a little Pico for that authentic taste. What really makes these special though, is the chili lime sour cream. If you haven’t had chili powder and fresh lime juice mixed with sour cream, you are in for a treat. It’s so ordinary but has this zip that keeps you coming back for more. Don’t let that pretty drizzle fool you in the photos. We each had our own spoon in the bowl for extra helpings. 🤭

Notes

Layering the tostadas in the order mentioned above ensures your tostada won’t get soggy. You can actually make these up 15 minutes ahead of time if you’d like to serve them already assembled to your guests or family. 
Substitute the chicken for taco meat such as lean ground turkey or lean ground beef. Just make sure your meat mixture doesn’t hold much liquid.
