Ingredients

  • 4 flour tortillas
  • ½ cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 ½ cups cooked shredded chicken or pork
  • 1 cup green salsa verde plus more for serving
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 (15-ounce) (15-ounce) can black beans rinsed and drained
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Toppings: Lettuce tomatoes, sour cream, avocado, etc.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the tortillas on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the tortillas, bake until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss together the chicken (or pork), salsa verde, 1/4 cup cilantro, beans, and cumin (this can marinate all day if you like). Spoon mixture evenly over the tortillas and bake until heated through about 8 minutes.
  3. Top warm tostadas with lettuce, tomato, and sour cream and other toppings as desired. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve immediately with additional green salsa if desired.

Notes

  • Plan Ahead: the recipe calls for cooked chicken.
  • Flavor: also, the flavor of the chicken or pork intensifies as it marinates so you may want to plan an additional 2-3 hours for that (but it isn’t absolutely necessary).
