- This recipe is really quick and easy to make.
- It is great to make as an appetizer or as a meal.
- Once the previously cooked chicken is shredded, add it into a large skillet over medium heat and add in the taco seasoning and water.
- Bring to a simmer as you mix to combine the chicken with the seasoning.
- Cover, remove from the heat and set it aside.
- Preheat your oven to 320 degrees F.
- In the meantime, heat your beans until warmed through.
- Have all of your ingredients ready.
- I like to prepare these family style, allowing everyone at the table to build their own tostada.
- Put the tostada shells onto a baking tray and heat in the oven for about 4-6 minutes.
- Once the tostadas are warmed through, remove them from the oven and place onto a serving dish.
- Add the chicken into a serving bowl.
- To serve, cover the tostada with a generous layer of refried beans.
- Doing so allows the rest of the ingredients to stick together, so the beans basically serve as your glue for this dish.
- Top with some chicken, then lettuce, tomato, onion, cilantro, cheese, avocado and chilies.
- Drizzle with the crema, hot sauce and a bit of lime juice.
- Pick up the tostada with both hands and bite on in.
- To me, this is a perfect bite.
- Its similar to what you might expect within a Mexican torta, however delivered on a crispy tostada shell.
- Lets just say these are not only easy to make, but they are super delicious and everyone at the table devoured them.
- Thats saying something.
- I hope you enjoy.
