Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 1 can refried beans, 16 oz.
  • 3 chicken breasts cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon oil of choice, like avocado or olive
  • 1 medium avocado
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 roma tomatoes

  • sour cream, hot sauce, olives or salsa if desired

Instructions

  2. Spray corn tortillas with a little oil or cooking spray and place on a cookie sheet. Bake in oven for 10 minutes, or until crisp and lightly browned.
