Ingredients
Scale
8 corn tostada shells
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1/2 cup refried beans
1/4 cup salsa
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup sour cream
1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare your air fryer.
If using oven: Place tostada shells on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly crisped. If using air fryer: Arrange shells in a single layer and air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
While shells crisp, warm the shredded rotisserie chicken in a skillet over medium heat with the refried beans and salsa. Stir until heated through and well combined.
Assemble the tostadas: Spread a layer of the chicken and bean mixture onto each crisp tostada shell.
Top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped cilantro, and diced red onion.
Add a dollop of sour cream to each tostada.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
For an extra cheesy tostada, sprinkle cheese over the chicken mixture before topping with other ingredients.
Consider adding other toppings like diced avocado, jalapeños, or shredded lettuce to your topping board.
This recipe is easily adaptable for a crowd; set up a tostada bar with all the toppings.
