Picking up prepared foods, like a rotisserie chicken, and combining them with fresh items produces a great meal in minutes. Assemble these tostadas for a crunchy, savory and amazingly fast dinner. Make your own tostadas by brushing corn tortillas with a bit of oil first, then baking them in a 400°F oven, flipping once, until crisp.
Ingredients
8 tostadas (crispy whole corn tortillas)
1 cup refried beans
3/4 to 1 pound shredded rotisserie chicken meat
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced into wedges
1 cup grated pepper jack cheese
1 cup thinly sliced romaine lettuce
1 cup chunky salsa or diced tomatoes
Method
Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange tostadas on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat beans and chicken separately in the microwave or in small pots on the stove until hot throughout.
Spread tostadas with beans, then top with avocado slices, chicken, cheese, lettuce and salsa and serve immediately.
