So, you made a completely different dish. Nothing even close to the recipe presented here. Basically, you are not reviewing this recipe. But, rather, just offering your own recipe for a chicken tostada dish and giving yourself five stars... not helpful...

My family declared this "a keeper!" I used leftover grilled chicken and corn cut off the cob in the salsa. Delicious!

My entire family loved this dish and has asked for it repeatedly since first making it this past summer. The avocado salsa makes the dish as it is wonderfully fresh! A keeper for my go-to summer night recipes!

This was a quick no-cook meal for a hot summer evening. I substituted basil for cilantro since no one in my family likes cilantro and used feta instead of queso fresco. In addition, I didn't make the tostadas--I just mixed the salsa, chicken, and beans together and served with some organic blue corn tortilla chips. Yum!

This was a good recipe, not outstanding or a special occasion. The salsa is what makes it. I added several chopped jalapenos to the salsa because we like things spicy. Will definitely make again.

Quick, healthy, delicious. The avocado salsa was good, but I think I'll use cilantro instead of mint next time.

The avocado salsa is really tasty, but maybe a little bland. I added a 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder or you could add a little hot sauce. This recipe made a great summer meal!!
