These Chicken Avocado Verde Tostados are the bomb!!! Try them with my Tomatillo Salsa…even better!
Living in Southwest, my family has come to love Mexican-style foods. We eat it probably 4 nights a week and just can’t seem to get enough of the flavors. One thing that I have recently started to love is a perfectly ripe avocado..specifically in the form of guacamole! I just can’t get enough.
I knew Wholly Guacamole made guacamole, but had no idea that they made salsa and my absolute favorite…the avocado verde sauce. It’s like green sauce, tomatillo sauce, and guacamole all rolled up into one amazingly scrumptious sauce. Seriouslly….I think I could eat this stuff with a spoon.
Chicken Avocado Verde Tostados
Chicken Avocado Verde Tostados
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 package Wholly Guacamole Avocado Verde sauce
- 1/4 head (or 1 package of pre-shredded) purple cabbage, shredded
- salt, pepper, garlic powder
- 12 tostado shells
- refried beans
- Wholly Guacamole and Wholly Salsa
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized strips and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a large skillet, cook chicken strips until they are fully cooked and no longer pink (about 10 minutes). Stir often. When chicken is fully cooked, pour the avocado verde sauce on the chicken and lower heat. Let simmer together for 3-4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat refried beans and then smear some on each tostado shell. Top with chicken, cabbage, guacamole, and salsa.

Brandie (@ Home Cooking Memories) says
April 22, 2014 at 7:16 pmI haven’t opened up my Wholly Avocado Verde Salsa yet, but I’m dying to! I haven’t seen it in stores (I’m probably not looking hard enough), so I’m trying to find the perfect recipe to use it in….and man, this looks like a great way to use it! We haven’t had tostadas in a long time (which is weird, because like you, we eat Mexican-style dinners a few nights a week).
