Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded Choose a well-seasoned chicken for the best flavor.
  • 8 pieces tostada shells Look for shells that are thick and sturdy.
  • 1 cup refried beans Opt for low-sodium or homemade beans.
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce For freshness.
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes Choose ripe tomatoes.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend) Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream For topping.
  • 1 avocado, sliced For garnish and creaminess.
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish Adds flavor and color.
  • Lime wedges, for serving To squeeze over tostadas.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the tostada shells on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the refried beans over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Spread a generous layer of refried beans onto each tostada shell.
  4. Top the beans with a hearty amount of shredded rotisserie chicken, then add layers of lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese.
  5. Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Remove from the oven and finish each tostada with a dollop of sour cream, fresh avocado slices, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
  7. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

Notes

Make sure to serve the tostadas right out of the oven for the best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days, reheating in the oven for desired crispiness.
