For an added fresh-tasting garlic kick, stir an additional 2 finely chopped garlic cloves into the shredded cooked chicken.

Mexican rice and beans complement these tostadas. Margaritas add to the Mexican theme.

Top with chopped fresh cilantro.

Great recipe, the lime juice and garlic really give the chicken a special flavor. And it works well with the crunchy tostadas and cheese melted on top.

A mouth watering recipe. Would suggest adding a few slices of avocado to top it off for a special taste treat... El Nuno
