  • Build the Tostadas. Divide the mashed avocado between four tostada shells, spreading it out to cover most of the surface of each shell, then spread a heaping 1/2 cup of the chicken and black bean mixture over the mashed avocado. Top with crumbled feta cheese, chopped green onions, or toppings of your choice, and serve warm!
