BBQ Chicken Tostadas
Enjoy a quick and delicious meal with BBQ Chicken Tostadas, featuring crispy shells, tender chicken, and gooey cheese.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 pieces tostada shells or corn tortillas brushed lightly with olive oil and baked until crispy
- 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1.5 cups barbecue sauce divided
- 2 cups shredded cheese mozzarella, cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend
- 3 pieces green onions very thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lay out the tostada shells on two rimmed baking sheets.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken with 1 cup of barbecue sauce, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly for maximum flavor.
- Divide the saucy chicken between the tostada shells and top each with about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. Make sure to spread the cheese evenly to get that delicious melty goodness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking!
- Once done, remove from the oven and drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce over the tostadas. Add thinly sliced green onions on top if desired for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
