Chicken Tostadas with Cilantro and Lime Crema.

This is my simple and delicious version of a tostada. A tostada is a blank canvas where you can experiment with so many options, colors, and flavors. Every layer is packed with a new taste and texture. I gave it my own twist by adding clean and flavorful ingredients to the traditional Crema Mexicana. I chose Peruvian beans, not only because they are a family tradition, but they don't overpower the other flavors. Pair this dish with your favorite glass of ice cold beer.
