These BBQ Chicken Tostadas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that the whole family will love. Crispy tostada shells topped with tender, shredded chicken, gooey cheese, and tangy barbecue sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

Tostada Shells:

  • 8 tostada shells (or 8 corn tortillas, brushed lightly with olive oil and baked for 3–5 minutes per side, until crispy)

BBQ Chicken:

  • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce, divided

Toppings:

  • 2 cups shredded cheese (Mary uses mozzarella in the cookbook, but I have also used cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 3 green onions, very thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lay out the 8 tostada shells on two rimmed baking sheets.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Add 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken to a mixing bowl. Divide the 1 1/2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce, set aside 1/2 cup, and pour 1 cup of the barbecue sauce over the chicken. Stir to coat completely.
  3. Assemble Tostadas: Divide the chicken between the tostada shells and top with 2 cups shredded cheese (about ¼ cup on each).
  4. Bake: Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
  5. Finish: Remove from the oven and drizzle with the remaining ½ cup barbecue sauce. Sprinkle with 3 green onions, thinly sliced, if desired.

Notes

  • You can customize these tostadas with your favorite toppings like avocado, sour cream, or pickled jalapenos.
  • Feel free to use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation.
