Chicken Avocado Tostadas
"I first made these when trying to follow a dairy-free, gluten-free diet. The shells are corn (no wheat) and the avocado is meant to replace the cheese on traditional tostadas, but I still love these even now that I'm back to a "normal" diet because they taste so good. The flavor comes mostly from the base foods, so some people might find this bland and you may need to find a way to spice it up a bit, perhaps some hot taco sauce or some jalapeno slices. Also, I always cook for one, so that's what the recipe calls for (easily multiplied, however). These are great for lunch with a side of fresh, ripe fruit. P.S. Measurements are approximate, I'm an "eyeballer.""

The only thing that I did different on this recipe was to use corn tortillas instead of tostadas since that is what I had on hand. This made for a very tasty lunch and I will most definitely make this again. Thanks for posting this. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag. -
We LOVED these! Wound up using "spicy refried beans" and a little cheddar cheese. Seriouly, I would like to eat these every single day.....
