- In a blender, place the garlic, Serrano chiles, tomatillos and salt to taste, and blend, adding the remaining liquid from cooking to obtain the desired consistency. Put in a bowl, add the minced onion and mix. Set aside and let cool.
- Home-make refried beans or put canned refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 4 minutes, stopping to stir at least once.
- To build tostadas, evenly distribute the refried beans over 10 tostada shells, spreading out to cover most of the base of shell. Then evenly divide lettuce, tomato, chicken and cheese between each. Add 1 tablespoon of sour cream on top of each tostada and top with 2 avocado slices. Serve with salsa verde.
