These zesty, delightfully crunchy tostadas are piled high with creamy mashed pinto beans and tender chicken cooked in a spicy chipotle sauce, whose smoky heat is balanced by a fresh tomato salsa served on top.

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Drain and rinse the beans. Halve the tomatoes. Roughly chop the pepper. Thoroughly wash your hands and cutting board immediately after handling. In a bowl, combine the halved tomatoes and as much of the chopped pepper as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the honey (kneading the packet before opening), 1 tablespoon of warm water, and as much of the chile paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.
In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped garlic and sliced white bottoms of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the drained beans and 1/2 cup of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and mashing the beans with the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Turn off the heat; stir in the sour cream. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Rinse and wipe out the pan.
Meanwhile, place the tortillas on a sheet pan. Using a fork, prick the tortillas all over to prevent air bubbles from forming. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; turn to coat. Toast in the oven 4 to 6 minutes, or until lightly browned and crispy. Remove from the oven.
Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the tenders on the foil. Bake 7 to 9 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until lightly browned and cooked through.* Remove from the oven. Immediately season with salt. Transfer to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, halve crosswise. Transfer to a bowl. Add the sauce and stir to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
