Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tostada shells
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the tostada shells on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for 5 minutes while preparing the toppings.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir well to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes, until heated through and coated in the seasoning.
In a small saucepan, warm the refried beans over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
To assemble the tostadas, spread a thin layer of refried beans on each tostada shell.
Top the beans with the seasoned chicken, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Drizzle with salsa and sprinkle with chopped cilantro as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Quick Easy Chicken Tostadas!
