Ingredients
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 mango, peeled and diced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, finely diced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Directions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips.
- In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to create the lime crema.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the corn tortillas, one at a time, for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- To assemble the tostadas, spread a spoonful of the lime crema on each crispy tortilla shell. Top with a few slices of grilled chicken, diced mango, sliced avocado, minced red onion, and diced jalapeno. Garnish with additional cilantro leaves if desired.
