Notes
Store-bought tostadas shells are full of artificial colours and preservatives. I prefer to make my own but you can use pre-made.
Healthy brand of refried beans instead of black beans is welcome
Adjust salt in guacamole to taste depending on whether you use store-bought tostada shells, salted canned beans and store-bought or homemade chicken.
