Description
These Easy BBQ Chicken Tostadas are the perfect quick-fix meal for busy weeknights or casual get-togethers. With crispy tostada shells as the base, each bite is loaded with juicy barbecue chicken, melty cheese, and a drizzle of your favorite barbecue sauce, all topped off with fresh green onions for a pop of flavor.
Ingredients
8 tostada shells or 8 corn tortillas, brushed lightly with olive oil and baked for 3–5 minutes per side until crispy
3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
1 1/2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce, divided
2 cups shredded cheese
3 green onions, very thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lay out the tostada shells (or baked tortillas) on two rimmed baking sheets.
In a small bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1 cup of the barbecue sauce, stirring until the chicken is well coated.
Evenly divide the barbecue chicken mixture among the tostada shells, spreading it out to cover each shell. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on top of each tostada.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the tostadas from the oven and drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce over them. Sprinkle with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve immediately.
