Ingredients

Scale

Tortillas and Base

  • 8 corn tortillas (6-inch size)
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (preferably rotisserie)
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix

Vegetables and Beans

  • 8.5 ounces canned corn, drained
  • 15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 8 ounces salsa (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (to taste, about 1/4 cup chopped)
  • 1 medium tomato, diced

Cheese

  • 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tortillas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly brush both sides of the corn tortillas with cooking oil. Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are crispy and golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  2. Season the chicken: In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with the taco seasoning mix. Add a little salsa if desired to moisten and mix well to coat the chicken evenly with the seasoning.
  3. Heat the black beans and corn: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the black beans and canned corn together until heated through, about 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Assemble the tostadas: Spread a spoonful of salsa on each crispy tortilla, followed by a layer of the black bean and corn mixture. Top with the seasoned shredded chicken evenly across all tostadas.
  5. Add cheese and bake: Sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese generously over the top of each tostada. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove the tostadas from the oven. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and diced tomatoes. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute the corn tortillas with flour tortillas if preferred, but corn tortillas provide a more authentic Mexican flavor.
  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor, but leftover cooked chicken works well too.
  • Adjust the amount of taco seasoning and salsa based on your spice preference.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add extra beans or grilled vegetables.
  • To keep tostadas crispy, assemble just before serving and avoid letting them sit too long after adding wet ingredients.
