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
- 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.
- Mix the shredded chicken with barbecue sauce in a bowl until fully coated.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare tostadas by placing store-bought shells on a baking sheet, or fry homemade corn tortillas until crispy.
- Assemble tostadas by spooning BBQ chicken mixture onto each shell evenly.
- Add shredded cheese on top of each tostada.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with diced red onions and cilantro, and optionally squeeze lime juice over the top.
- Serve with sour cream on the side if desired.
Notes
You can customize toppings and use different proteins or cheeses to vary the flavor.
