Chicken Enchilada Tostada

I found this recipe over here  and thought it looked SO yummy!  Not sure if it is just the pregnancy hankerin' for a good Mexican dish or what, but whatever the hankerin' was it was a GREAT choice!  Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 tbsp. brown sugar, packed
1 can chopped green chiles {I used the 8oz. can}
1 can {10 oz.} red enchilada sauce
1 cup frozen corn
1 can refried beans {I used Gebhardt}
tostada shells OR fried corn tortillas (I used flour tortillas)
Toppings {optional} lettuce, chillies, sour cream etc.

Shred your chicken and cook it up.  Also cook your tortilla shells.  I used a little oil in a skillet (enough to cover the bottom and then some).  
Once your chicken is cooked, coat it in taco seasoning and brown sugar. 
Add your chillies (I left those out... to spicey on the preggo belly!) and 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce.  Once heated through add your corn and cook for another 5-10 min.
Meanwhile you can cook the rest of your enchilada sauce with your refried beans via microwave or stove top.  

Once everything is cooked, take your tortilla and place a generous amount of your refried beans on it and spread it around.  Then top with your chicken mixture and continue adding all the toppings you wish!  The end result is SUPER yummy! 

From my kitchen to yours, ENJOY!
