Cook for approximately 20 minutes or until done.

Add a splash of oil to the pot with the refried beans and mash them until smooth.

Remove impurities from the chicken after about 15 minutes and continue cooking until done.

Chop 1 tomato for toppings.

Squeeze 1/2 lime into a bowl with 2 avocados and a small piece of red onion, then mash together with salt and pepper.

Set the avocado mixture aside, covering it to keep fresh.

Once the chicken is done, remove it and shred it using a chicken shredder.

Warm tostadas in the oven at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.

Layer refried beans on the tostadas, followed by sour cream, avocado, shredded chicken, lettuce, cilantro, cheese, and tomato.
