Lime Chicken Tostada’s recipe for Cinco de Mayo

I LOVE Mexican food, if you can’t tell by the majority of my recipe posts. These Lime Chicken Tostada’s are something I’ve been making for a long time. They are kind of like a mix of Navajo Tacos and regular tacos. Your family will love them because they can top them with all their favorites and make them feel like they are little chefs.
