Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the finished tostadas. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream also makes a great addition.

Easy Substitutions

Ground turkey or beef can be used instead of chicken. If you don't have tostada shells, you can use regular corn tortillas and lightly fry them in a little oil until crispy, or bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes until crisp.

Storage & Reheating

Tostadas are best enjoyed fresh as the shells can become soggy. Store any leftover chicken and bean mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
