Ingredients
Scale
8 corn tostada shells
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 (15 ounce) can refried beans, warmed
1 cup salsa
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapeños (optional)
1 avocado, diced
1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare your air fryer. If using the oven, arrange tostada shells on a baking sheet and warm for 3-5 minutes until slightly crisp. If using an air fryer, warm shells in batches for 1-2 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken with 1/2 cup of salsa. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
Spread a layer of warmed refried beans onto each tostada shell.
Top the beans with the salsa-coated rotisserie chicken.
Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the chicken.
Return the tostadas to the oven or air fryer for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from heat and top each tostada with fresh cilantro, pickled jalapeños (if using), diced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
You can prepare the chicken and chop the toppings ahead of time for even faster assembly.
Consider adding a board of toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and corn for a customizable tostada bar.
