Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Today’s recipe for chicken tostadas uses my favorite chicken marinade which is quick, easy and delicious! What more could you ask for you? This recipe is one of those weeknight dinner ideas that you will make over and over again. Not only does it work perfectly with my favorite chicken marinade but it is a perfect way to use any leftover meat you have on hand. It is also a perfect meatless meal too. Instead of adding meat, just add some sautéed or grilled veggies.
Ingredients
- Tostada Shells
- Chicken
- Cheddar cheese grated
- Refried Beans

How To Make Chicken Tostadas
- Sprinkle with some cheese and place under the broiler until the cheese melts and the edges get a little golden brown. Watch them closely because it doesn’t take long
- Add a layer of refried beans. I use canned refried beans and add a few tablespoons of salsa to them.
- Add diced, marinated chicken, lettuce, more cheese and some salsa and avocado.
Pair This With:
You can get creative and come up with your own toppings. It is a great meal for a group because everyone can custom make their own tostada!
