Scale
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled
- 1 tablespoon minced red onion
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (or use rotisserie chicken)

- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- To make the guacamole, combine the avocado, red onion, lime juice, salt, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
- If using uncooked chicken, cook the chicken breasts in a pan over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Shred the chicken once cooled. Alternatively, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- To assemble the tostadas, spread a layer of guacamole on each tostada shell.
- Top with shredded chicken, followed by a spoonful of tomato salsa.
- Add shredded lettuce and cheese, if using.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken or leftover shredded chicken to save time. This dish is perfect for hot summer days when you want to avoid cooking. You can prepare the components in advance and store them in the fridge for quick assembly. Customize with your favorite toppings like jalapeños or hot sauce.
