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

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare your air fryer.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Assemble the tostadas: Spread a layer of the chicken and bean mixture onto each crisp tostada shell.
  5. Top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped cilantro, and diced red onion.
  6. Add a dollop of sour cream to each tostada.
  7. 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.
