01
Saut Vegetables and Chicken
Start by heating the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the onion and peppers and cook them for about 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until they’re just tender but still have a bit of crunch. Next, add the corn, beans, and chicken to the pan and cook everything until it’s heated through. Pour in the soup and milk, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavors come together.
02
Toss Avocado with Lime
While that’s cooking, squeeze a teaspoon of lime juice over the avocado in a bowl and give it a gentle toss to keep it fresh and bright. When the chicken mixture is ready, spoon it onto the tostada shells, then top each one with the avocado and sprinkle on some cilantro. If you like a little kick, add a dash of hot sauce to finish it off.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines crispy tostadas with a rich and creamy chicken topping, creating a perfect balance of textures and flavors. It’s easy to make and satisfying, making it a great choice for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual gathering with friends.
How to serve
Serve with a side of fresh salsa, sliced avocado, or a simple green salad. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro on top can add extra freshness and color to the dish.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover creamy chicken separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the tostadas in a sealed bag to maintain their crunch and assemble just before eating to avoid sogginess.
