A few fresh ingredients tossed with smoky chipotle peppers in adobo upgrade this single serving chicken tostada for a tasty South-of-the-border weeknight meal you can make in under 20 minutes. A squeeze of lime adds bright flavor and complexity. For variation, you could replace the chicken with a fried egg to turn it into a breakfast tostada or mashed black beans for a vegetarian option. Store-bought corn tostada shells can be found alongside regular corn or flour tortillas at your local supermarket. Several come in a package but can be stored in the pantry for several weeks—just be sure to seal the open package well to keep them fresh and crisp.
