Description

Delightful crispy tostadas topped with savory shredded chicken and fresh veggies, perfect for a quick meal.


Ingredients

  • Corn tortillas (about 6-8)
  • Rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 3 cups)
  • Olive oil or cooking spray (for crisping the tortillas)
  • Fresh avocado, sliced
  • Shredded lettuce (green leaf or romaine)
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Feta or crumbled queso fresco
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges (for serving)
  • Optional: favorite hot sauce or salsa


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly brush each corn tortilla with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Place them on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Bake the tortillas for about 8-10 minutes or until they are crispy and golden, flipping halfway through.
  4. While the tortillas are baking, prepare the shredded chicken. If you want to enhance the flavor, warm it in a skillet with a splash of taco seasoning or salsa.
  5. Once the tortillas are ready, remove them from the oven and begin layering. Start with a generous amount of chicken, then add lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and your choice of cheese.
  6. Finish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  7. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges and hot sauce on the side.

Notes

Leftover toppings and tortillas should be stored separately to maintain crispiness.
