Steps:
- To make the tortillas: Pour the oil for frying into a large heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 375 degrees F. Add the tortillas, one at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 1 1/2 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to a paper towel-lined pan and sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
- To make the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the chicken, lime juice, oil, coriander, and salt and season with pepper to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
- To assemble the tostadas: Preheat the broiler. Spread the beans evenly over one side of each tortilla and sprinkle with some of the cheese. Transfer to a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is lightly browned and melted, about 30 seconds. Divide the tortillas among 6 plates.
- Evenly mound the chicken on each tortilla and top with the lettuce. Top each tostada with avocado, salsa, and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with the scallion and garnish the tostada with the coriander leaves. Serve immediately.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, coriander, and cumin and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, until lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Add the beans and cook, stirring frequently, until thick and amber brown in color, about 4 minutes. Stir in the salt and season with pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, mix together the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, coriander, salt, and season with pepper to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

Tips:
- Use ripe kiwis: To get the best flavor and sweetness from the kiwis, make sure they are ripe. Ripe kiwis will have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
- Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts: This will make it easier to shred the chicken and assemble the tostadas.
- Use a food processor to shred the chicken: This is the quickest and easiest way to get shredded chicken. You can also use two forks to shred the chicken, but it will take a little longer.
- Make the kiwi salsa ahead of time: The salsa can be made up to 2 days in advance, so you can save time on the day you're serving the tostadas.
- Use your favorite toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include shredded cabbage, black beans, corn, avocado, and sour cream.
