Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Base:
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 8 tostada shells
- 1 cup refried beans
Vegetables and Fresh Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced avocado
Toppings and Condiments:
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so everything is ready when you need it.
- Arrange all 8 tostada shells across a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Spread 1 cup of refried beans evenly across each shell, making sure you cover the surface.
- Distribute your 2 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken evenly over the beans on each tostada.
- Place the baking sheet in your 375°F (190°C) oven for 10 minutes until the chicken and beans warm through completely.
- Take the tostadas out of the oven and layer 1 cup of shredded lettuce across all of them while they’re still warm.
- Top each tostada with 1 cup of diced tomatoes scattered evenly across the surface.
- Add 1/2 cup of diced avocado to your tostadas, distributing the pieces so each one gets some.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese across all the tostadas while they’re still warm so it softens slightly.
- Drizzle 1/4 cup of salsa over everything, then finish with 1/4 cup of sour cream before serving them to your table.
Notes
- Pick up a rotisserie chicken from the store to save yourself time since the meat is already cooked and seasoned perfectly.
- Warm your tostada shells in the oven for a few minutes before spreading beans on them so they stay crispy instead of getting soggy.
- Add your fresh toppings like lettuce and avocado right after baking rather than before, so they don’t wilt from the heat and stay fresh and crunchy.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular tostada shells with corn tostadas, which work just as well and often taste even better with the toppings.
