Tips for Making Chicken and Black Bean Tostizzas:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the tostada will taste. Use ripe avocados, juicy tomatoes, and crisp lettuce.
- Cook the chicken properly: The chicken should be cooked through but not dry. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Use a good quality tortilla: A sturdy tortilla will hold up better to the toppings. Look for tortillas that are made with whole wheat or corn flour.
- Load up on the toppings: Don't be shy with the toppings! The more toppings, the better. Use a variety of textures and flavors, such as crunchy lettuce, creamy avocado, and tangy salsa.
- Serve immediately: Tostizzas are best served immediately after they are made. The tortillas will get soggy if they sit for too long.
