Chicken Avocado Verde Tostados

These Chicken Avocado Verde Tostados are the bomb!!! Try them with my Tomatillo Salsa…even better!

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 LOVE guacamole. My husband and I are thinking about moving the Southwest. I love reading about what you say about food there. For instance, I don't know where I can find a good tostada where I live. YUM!!!!!

    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.

    This recipe looks amazing, but I also like the idea of 15-minute suppers. Both my fiance' and I work full-time, so it's hard to get home and want to cook.

    Being a very busy mom, the idea of a 15 minute dinner is very appealing to me! Especially for the nights we are all coming in late, but very hungry!

    The idea of 15 minute dinners is good. The reality of them is GREAT but they are scarce. I'd love to try this one.

    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.

    I could definitely use more 15 minute meals in my life! I'm always to tired after work, I never feel like cooking.

    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.

    The recipe looks delicious! Fish tacos are one of our staple 15 minute dinners - love them with some guac too!

    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).

    The recipe sounds delicious, the only thing I wouldn't include if I made this recipe is the purple cabbage. I know my family wouldn't eat the purple cabbage.

    I like to keep cooked meat on hand. This way I can throw something together very quickly for dinner. The recipe ideas are endless.

    I'd leave the chicken off to make it vegetarian friendly. I absolutely love tostados from the Mexican restaurant here, but I've never tried to make them on my own.

    I love the idea of 15 minute suppers. I always plan for supper to be done around 5 or 6 but we usually don't sit down to eat until 7.

    I love guacamole and find it to be an excellent addition to many dishes. I feel as though more people would cook at home if they could make meals in 15 minutes.

    These tostados look great! I wonder if I could make something similar with tuna - my family is really into seafood.

    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!
