Ingredients

Scale

For the Tostadas

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

Toppings

  • 8.5 ounces canned corn, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 8 ounces salsa (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
  • 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tortillas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush both sides of the corn tortillas lightly with cooking oil. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  2. Season the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken with the taco seasoning mix and about 2 tablespoons of salsa. Mix well to coat evenly.
  3. Heat the beans and corn: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the black beans and canned corn until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Assemble the tostadas: On each crispy tortilla, spread a layer of the warmed black beans and corn mixture. Top with a generous amount of the seasoned shredded chicken.
  5. Add salsa and cheese: Spoon about a tablespoon of salsa over the chicken on each tostada, then sprinkle evenly with shredded Colby Jack cheese.
  6. Melt the cheese: Return the assembled tostadas to the oven for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese melts and starts to bubble.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and diced tomatoes. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

  • Use fresh rotisserie chicken for convenience and great flavor.
  • If preferred, lightly fry tortillas in oil instead of baking for extra crispiness.
  • Adjust taco seasoning and salsa amounts to suit your heat preference.
  • Black beans can be substituted with pinto beans if desired.
  • Serve with lime wedges or avocado slices for added freshness.
