Instructions
Place oil, lime juice, garlic, onion, chili powder, pepper, and salt in a bowl. Mix with a fork to combine.
Add chicken and turn it to coat well with the seasonings. Marinate for 20 minutes.
Heat a griddle pan or a cast-iron skillet until smoking.
Brush with a little bit of oil to coat lightly the bottom.
Add chicken and grill (flipping from time to time) on both sides until golden, charred, and well cooked through.
Place grilled chicken in a bowl and cover with foil, allow to rest for 5 minutes then shred it using two forks.
Cover again to prevent it from drying and set aside until needed.
Assemble
Spread each tostada shell with refried beans.
Add a layer of shredded chicken.
Top with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and pickled onions.
Finish with cheese and a drizzle of your favorite salsa.
Notes
