Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breast or thighs
- 3/4 cup sweet onion, chopped
1 can Red Gold® Canned Petite Diced Tomatoes 14.5 oz
1 can Red Gold® Original Diced Tomatoes + Green Chilies 10 oz
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 1 can black beans, 10 oz, drained and rinsed
- juice from 1/2 a lime
- toasted or fried flour tortillas (fajita size), for assembling
Instructions
Step one
Combine spices to make the seasoning and use half to season chicken breasts.
Step two
Place chicken in your Instant Pot, Ninja Foodie, or pressure cooker. If it has sauté mode, sauté your onions for a couple of minutes, then add your chicken and sauté on each side for a minute. If it does not, you can skip this step.
Step three
Add both cans of tomatoes, chicken stock and remaining spice mixture to the pot and set pressure for 10 minutes. Typically it takes about 10 minutes to come up to pressure.
Step four
Carefully release pressure when finished, remove lid and add in the beans and lime juice. Stir to combine.
Step five
When ready, assemble your tostadas, first spread guacamole (or smashed avocado) onto your crisped up tortillas, top with some of the shredded chicken followed by cheese(s), cilantro, lettuce, etc and enjoy!
