Ingredients
Tostada Shells
2
Chicken Breasts
1
cup
Refried Beans
1
cup
shredded Lettuce
1
cup
shredded Cheese
Instructions
Cook chicken breasts with your preferred method until fully cooked. Once cooled, shred the chicken.
Warm the refried beans in a saucepan or microwave.
Start by spreading a layer of refried beans on each tostada shell.
Add a generous amount of shredded chicken on top.
Sprinkle with lettuce and finish with cheese.
Optional: Add other toppings like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.
Notes
Season your chicken well for added flavor. Spices like cumin, paprika, and chili powder work well.
Warm up your refried beans before spreading them on the tostada shell; it spreads easier.
If making your own tostada shells, ensure they are completely cooled before assembling. This keeps them crisp.
Layer ingredients in order; this helps in preventing the tostada from becoming soggy.
Have your ingredients prepped and ready to go. Assembly goes quickly!
