Green Chili Chicken Tostadas
Description
This recipe uses shredded roasted chicken heated in a flavorful green chile sauce, which infuses the meat with a spicy and tangy profile. The tostada shells serve as sturdy bases layered with the chicken mixture and shredded Monterey Jack cheese, assembled in two alternating layers for a stacked presentation that melts the cheese well under the broiler.
The final toppings of sliced jalapeño and chopped cilantro add freshness and an additional kick of heat to balance the creamy cheese and smoky chilies. This dish offers a combination of crispy tostada crunch, tender chicken, and melted cheese, making it versatile as a snack, appetizer, or main course.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken shredded, roasted
- 28 oz green chile sauce
- 12 tostada shells
- 2 cups Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 jalapeño sliced
Instructions
- In a large saucepan add the shredded chicken and green chile sauce. Simmer uncovered, 10 minutes. Stir to mix and heat evenly.
- Place 6 tostada shells on lined baking sheet. Divide half the green chile chicken over the first layer of shells. Top each with a third cup of cheese and repeat with another layer of tostada shells, both green chile chicken and cheese.
- Place baking sheet under the broiler to melt cheese. Top with any remaining green chile sauce in pan, jalapeño slice or chopped cilantro and serve hot.
