Instructions

  1. Spray the bottom of the crockpot with cooking spray. Place chicken breasts, taco seasoning, onion, jalapeños, salsa, and diced tomatoes with green chilis into the pot.
  2. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours. Remove chicken, shred it with two forks, and put it back into the pot. Stir to combine it with the sauce.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, or when you are getting ready to serve, preheat the oven to 425℉. Cover a pan in foil and place the tortillas on top. Brush each side of each tortilla with a little bit of oil.
  4. Bake for 5 minutes on one side, then flip and bake for another 2-3 minutes or until the tortillas become crispy.
  5. Top each tostada with chicken and the toppings of your choice.

Notes

  • This shredded chicken freezes great! Keep in in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
  • Nutrition Facts do not include toppings. 
  • You can use frozen chicken breasts but the cook time will be more like 4-6 hours on high.
