BBQ Chicken Tostadas

Delicious BBQ Chicken Tostadas are easy to prepare and packed with flavor, perfect for casual gatherings or quick meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 8 tostada shells (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: If you don’t have shredded chicken ready, cook chicken breasts in boiling water for about 20-25 minutes. Remove from water and let cool slightly, then shred.
  2. Mix the shredded chicken with barbecue sauce in a bowl until fully coated.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Prepare tostadas by placing store-bought shells on a baking sheet, or fry homemade corn tortillas until crispy.
  5. Assemble tostadas by spooning BBQ chicken mixture onto each shell evenly.
  6. Add shredded cheese on top of each tostada.
  7. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with diced red onions and cilantro, and optionally squeeze lime juice over the top.
  9. Serve with sour cream on the side if desired.

Notes

You can customize toppings and use different proteins or cheeses to vary the flavor.
