Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Saute the chicken (I use a non-stick pan and no oil) until cooked through. Drain and rinse black beans. When you are sure the chicken is cooked through, add the black beans, tomatoes, water and taco seasoning mix. Simmer for flavors to combine - about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, put equal amounts of the mixture onto 10 tostadas on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake for 7-10 minutes until tostadas are crispy and cheese is melted.
