Roasted Chicken & Black Bean Tostadas

I recently made these for dinner the other night with ingredients I just happened to have without following a recipe. They came out so good that I had to share them with you!

Ingredients:

- Corn tortillas
- Fresh guacamole
- Roasted chicken or chicken breast
- Organic black beans
- 1/2 white onion
- Goat cheese
- Fresh cilantro

Directions:

Either buy a hot roasted chicken or cook an organic chicken breast in a skillet using olive oil spray. Heat up a cast iron skillet and brown your corn tortillas using a bit of olive oil spray. At the same time in the pan you cooked your chicken, saute your onions in olive oil until they get soft and brown. Heat up your black beans in a small sauce pan and get some fresh cilantro and goat cheese from the fridge.

Once your tortillas are browned and hot, lay them out on either a cookie sheet or individual plates and begin building. Start with a dollop of fresh guacamole, then some crumbled goat cheese, followed by slices of hot chicken breast, a small scoop of black beans, a bit of caramelized onions, and completed by cilantro garnish. These will be a sure hit at any party or Mexican family dinner! Serve with a cucumber salad and a margarita or mojito! Yum!
