Lime Chicken Tostada’s recipe for Cinco de Mayo

05/01/14 | Dinner, Holidays, Recipes

I LOVE Mexican food, if you can’t tell by the majority of my recipe posts. These Lime Chicken Tostada’s are something I’ve been making for a long time. They are kind of like a mix of Navajo Tacos and regular tacos. Your family will love them because they can top them with all their favorites and make them feel like they are little chefs.

  • 4 chicken breasts boiled with salt and garlic powder, then shredded
  • 4 limes or 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup fresh chopped cilantro
  • 2 small cans refried beans
  • tostada shells (sold on the bread isle usually)

  • shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • shredded iceberg lettuce
  • pico de gallo, or salsa (make you own with onion, tomato, cilantro and a little bit of salt)
