Grilled Chicken Breast Tostadas

Today’s recipe is another fun and fabulous grilling recipe.  It also uses the pico de gallo and guacamole recipe I posted the past few days.  I found these grilled chicken breast tostadas in a magazine.  Now, I can’t remember which one, but it was an ad for Bush’s Grillin’ Beans. I made a few adaptations to the original recipe.

This tostada recipe is different because you don’t use refried beans as a base, but you totally could if you want to.  The reason you don’t put beans on the tostada is because you serve up some of Bush’s Grillin’ Beans on the side.  They just came out with two new flavors – Black Bean Fiesta and Texas Ranchero.  This recipe is recommended to serve with the Texas Ranchero version.  I tried to find the new flavors in my local store, but I haven’t been able to find them yet.

The other fun thing about this recipe is you use your grill to cook the chicken and to make the tostada shell.  Let me tell you that I loved the tostada shell made on the grill.  I of course used those La Tortilla Factory tortillas that I love.  They are delicious. Kind of like a mix of a flour and a corn tortilla.  They are only 90 calories each.  You can visit La Tortilla Factory to find a retailer near you that carries their products. I must say I am loving all these recipes that utilize the grill!
