Chicken & Black Bean Tostadas

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (123g) nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tsp chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce 
• 1/2 tsp lime zest
• 4 (6-inch) corn tostadas
• 1 cup (185g) no-salt added canned black beans, rinsed and drained 
• 1 1/2 cups (203g) skinless rotisserie chicken breast meat, shredded
• 1 cup (35g) romaine lettuce, shredded 
• 1 cup (256g) tomato salsa
• 1/2 cup (57g) cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tbsp cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
• 4 lime wedges

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped chipotle peppers, and lime zest. Spread the mixture evenly over the 4 tostadas, using about 2 tbsp per tostada.

Top each tostada with 1/4 cup black beans, 6 tbsp shredded chicken (about 1 1/2 oz.), 1/4 cup romaine lettuce, 1/4 cup tomato salsa, 2 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 1/2 tsp cilantro. Serve each tostada with a lime wedge for squeezing over the top just before eating.

Note: No tostadas? No problem! Spray both sides of a corn tortilla with vegetable cooking spray and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 5–6 minutes per side, or until crispy. Cool before assembling the tostadas.
