Ingredients
4 6-inch corn tortillas
1 poblano pepper, seeds removed and chopped
1/2 cup roasted corn (available in the frozen foods aisle)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 lime, zested and juiced
12 ounces cooked chicken breast, diced
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican-blend cheese
1/2 avocado, diced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 poblano pepper, seeds removed and chopped
1/2 cup roasted corn (available in the frozen foods aisle)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 lime, zested and juiced
12 ounces cooked chicken breast, diced
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican-blend cheese
1/2 avocado, diced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray one side of each tortilla with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle chili powder on each tortilla and place on a baking sheet. Bake until crisp, about 10 minutes, flipping the tortillas halfway through. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
While the tortillas are cooking, place a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the poblano and cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges start to char. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the corn, cooked pepper, chili powder, tomatoes, cumin, and lime. Place one heaping cup of the mixture on each tortilla. Top each tostada with 3 ounces of chicken and one tablespoon cheese. Bake just until the cheese has melted, about five minutes.
Remove from the oven and top with the avocado and cilantro. Serve immediately.
