Instructions
- Cook the ground chicken(or turkey or beef) in a skillet over medium heat. Drain. Season with Taco seasoning or Chili Lime seasoning (both options good-go with what you have). Set the meat aside.
- Place the black beans, Greek yogurt, diced green chiles, cilantro, cumin, garlic and salt and pepper in a food processor or blender. Scrape beans into a bowl and set aside.
- Preheat oven to Broil. Place the corn tortillas DIRECTLY on the the oven rack to get them nice and crispy. Let broil for 3-5 minutes. Remove carefully, then assemble!
- Spread a little bean spread on the tostada shell, add a little meat, chopped lettuce and all yo' favorite toppings. Add a sprinkle of cheese.
- The black bean spread will be more than enough for six tostadas, so you can make more or eat it as a dip!
