Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the tostada shells on a baking sheet. Bake for 3-5 minutes until the tostadas are warmed through.
- While the tostada shells are reheating, heat the refried beans and shredded chicken in either the microwave or on the stovetop until both are warmed through.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the shredded chicken, salsa and taco seasoning.
- Then prepare the tostadas. Spread a thin layer of the refried beans onto each tostada shells.
- Top each one with the shredded chicken mixture, both shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, avocados, cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.
- Serve each one immediately while warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can bake regular corn tortillas until crispy to make your own tostadas if you can't find any at your store.
- For the shredded chicken, you can use any leftover chicken you have in the refrigerator, store bought shredded rotisserie chicken or make your own shredded chicken in a crock pot.
- Crock Pot Instructions:
- If you do not have cooked shredded chicken, you can easily make the chicken in the crock pot. Place raw breasts chicken, salsa and taco seasoning in a crock pot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours (or on high for 3-4 hours) until the chicken is easily shreddable. Shred the chicken and then assemble the tostadas based on the instructions.
