Chicken Tostadas Ala Maita Circle



These are Super Easy and good for you. If you dont like chicken you can use ground beef, shredded beef or just go meatless and the beans are fine.
Start with fresh ingredients.
Go to the store and buy: PERICOS Tostadas (there are others but I like these)
Lettuce (ice berg, romaine, red, whatever U like)
Tomatoes (roma, vine, beef, whatever U like and is cheap)
Cheese (I like mild cheddar, my moms like Monterey Jack, use whatever U like)
Chicken (parts, breast, legs, boneless, skinless, whatever you like)



If you dont want to cook fresh pinto beans then yes you can add a can to your grocery list.

1. Cook your pinto beans in the morning so they can cool and you can mash them before spreading them on your tostada. They will be your first layer.
2. Cook your chicken with veggies if you want (I used potatoes, celery,onion, garlic, n salt) After its cooked well (no pink) let it cool and then shred it.
3. After your beans are mashed and cooled and your chicken is shreded and cooled,
You can start layering.
4. Spread some mashed beans onto the tostada.
5. Add chicken over the beans.
6. Add cheese over the chicken.
7. Add lettuce over the cheese.
8. A bit more cheese over the lettuce for color
9. Chopped Tomatoe.

Other optional ingredients: Salsa, Cilantro, Guacamole or choped Avacados, Sour cream. I dont like sour cream on mine and I didnt do Guacamole cuz the Avacados were like $2 a piece.
