This is a nice twist on fajitas and tostadas inspired by one of my favorite Mexican restaurant dishes. You can also follow the directions for shaping the tortillas into taco salad shells and have Chicken Fajita Taco Salads.
Chicken Fajita Tostadas
Ingredients:
For the chicken:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 Tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
For the tostada:
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1 (15 ounce) can refried beans or homemade equivalent
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 2 tablespoons oil
- additional toppings such as salsa, sour cream, hot sauce and guacamole.
Directions:
For the chicken:
Mix ingredients other than chicken. Pour over chicken and coat well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to several hours. Grill or sauté chicken until cooked through. Thinly slice and set aside.
For the tostada:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush both sides of tortilla lightly with oil. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook the onion and peppers until crisp tender.
Heat refried beans until bubbly.
Spread a thin amount of beans on the tortilla, then layer the chicken, onions and peppers, cheese, and additional toppings. Serve immediately.
