Chicken Tostadas and Avocado Salsa


3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup prechopped tomato 
1/2 cup prechopped white onion 
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 avocado, peeled and diced 
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided 
4 (6-inch) flour tortillas 
2 cups shredded green leaf lettuce 
1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups shredded boneless rotisserie chicken breast 
1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco 

Combine the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add tomato, onion, cilantro, and avocado; toss gently to coat.

Heat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 3/4 teaspoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add 1 tortilla to pan; cook 1 minute on each side or until browned. Repeat procedure 3 times with remaining 2 1/4 teaspoons oil and tortillas.

Place 1 tortilla on each of 4 plates. Layer each tortilla with 1/2 cup lettuce, about 1/2 cup beans, 1/2 cup chicken, 1/4 cup avocado salsa, and 1 tablespoon cheese.  Serves 4.
