In a slow cooker, mix salsa, green chiles, lime juice, chili powder, garlic, and cayenne pepper. Place chicken in the slow cooker and cover with some of the salsa mixture. Cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours, or on LOW for 5-6 hours.

Add black beans and 1/4 cup shredded cheese to the slow cooker and mix well.
Scoop 1/2 cup of the chicken/bean mixture on each tostada shell. Top with 1 tablespoon cheese, a few sliced cherry tomatoes, and approximately 3 tablespoons diced avocado.

Put 1 cup water and chicken in an Instant Pot. Cook chicken in Instant Pot for 12 minutes on HIGH pressure and quick release once fully cooked. Mix the salsa, green chiles, lime juice, chili powder, cayenne pepper, black beans, and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese in with the chicken.
