Sprinkle a few pinches of ancho chile powder over the chicken.
Heat a saute pan over medium heat.
Add 1 small splash of olive oil.
Saute the chicken, till it is half way cooked.

Drain the excess oil off of the tortillas on a dry towel.
Heat about 3/4 cup of refried beans in a small sauce pot with a small splash of water over low heat. (Quality canned refried beans are good for this recipe.)

Place a dollop of sour cream and a black olive on the shredded lettuce and tomatoes.

Delicious, mild and pretty! The Chihuahua cheese is very mild yasying. The mild ancho chile with lime flavor really goes well with chicken. This is a nice, light summer tostada! ... Shawna
