This chicken tostadas recipe is really wonderful. Adapt the ingredients to your own taste. And please try the faux chicken nuggets - they really are good, and I think they taste better than the real thing! You can use real breaded chicken nuggets if you prefer.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 4 6-inch flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup oil
- 16 oz. pkg. frozen chicken flavored soy nuggets (or real chicken nuggets if you must!)
- 16 oz. can vegetarian refried beans
- 1 cup torn lettuce
- 1 cup chunky salsa
- 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1 avocado, peeled and chopped
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 cups shredded Cojack cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream, if desired
Preparation:
Bake the soy nuggets according to package directions. Heat refried beans in a small saucepan, stirring frequently. Toss chopped avocados with lemon juice in small bowl.
Heat oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles and pops. Fry flour tortillas, one at a time, about one minute on each side until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
Assemble tostadas as desired, first spreading with refried beans, then layering on nuggets, lettuce, salsa, tomatoes, avocado, and cheese.
