Chicken Avocado Verde Tostados #15MinuteSuppers

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.

Chicken Avocado Verde Tostados #15MinuteSuppers

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.

    i really like this recipe and it looks beautiful with all of the colors. my idea of a 15 minute recipe is chicken on the george foreman grill, on a whole wheat tortilla with a pinch of shredded colby jack & a tbsp of barbeque sauce, with a side salad!

    I haven't had tostadas since I was a kid and these look lovely! I really like the idea of using the purple cabbage instead of basic iceberg. You could use raw spinach or kale too!

    I would love to try the Chicken Avocado Verde Tostados because they are different. The concept of 15 minute suppers is great because it is convenient and a healthier alternative to eating out. With less time to prepare a satisfying meal, I can spend more time with other things.

    I love the idea of 15 minute suppers. Sometimes I don't feel like making dinner because of the time it takes to prepare. I just hate spending a lot of time on dinner that gets eaten in about 5 minutes.

    One of my first memories of having Mexican food was when I was in grammar school in the 60's and ate at a Mexican girlfriends house. I've never forgotten that meal-it was so good! .This recipe reminds me of what we had.

    This recipe looks amazing & what I like most about it is it would be great for my family because it would satisfy the meat eaters & the vegetarian needs in one easy meal. I usually have to make two different meals this would solve that problem!

    that recipe looks amazing! it is similar to what i do with wholly guacamole. i pick up grilled chicken from the store, some cheese, some guac, and roll it into a taquito and fry it. super fast, simple, and yummy.

    I 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).

    Tostados are a favorite in our house. I never tried purple cabbage on them. The cabbage gives it great color and is a nice change from lettuce. I plan to give this one a try!
