Crunchy tostadas get toppings green and great in this easy-to-make dinner that brings some delightful heat. Green chili aioli adds a considerable kick, while green hatch chiles bring flavor to the sweet corn, tender chicken, and green onions. Topped with your standard-issue Tex-Mex accouterment, cheese, these tostadas make spice nice and with crunch enough to spare. Tip: Tostadas are a delicious, but messy treat. For this recipe, they can easily be converted to tacos. Simply warm tortillas in oven for 1-2 minutes after completing steps, omitting the baking in step 1.

2 Prepare the Ingredients

Add chicken and seasoning blend to hot pan and stir occasionally until chicken is lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. -
