Chile Lime Chicken Tacos/Tostadas

I found this yummy recipe on Real Mom Kitchen and it looked delicious, so I gave it a try and it was super yummy!
  • 1 can diced green chilies
  • 4 cloves of minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. chili powder (I was nervous and used only about 1 tbsp.)
  • 3 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 1 diced medium onion
  • 2 lbs. boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 can fat free refried beans, warmed
  • 10 tostada shells
  • Desired toppings such as: shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, salsa, light sour cream, sliced olives, guacamole
  1. Add chicken and onion to a slow cooker that is at least 3 1/2 quarts.
  2. In a bowl combine green chilies, garlic, chili powder, and lime juice. Pour over chicken.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours.
  4. Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred. Mix in 1/2 cup of juice remaining in slow cooker to the shredded chicken.
  5. Spread warmed refried beans on tostada shells.
  6. Top with hot chicken mixture and any other desired toppings.
