Happened here and that’s exactly how these BBQ chicken tostadas came to life because there was a little leftover grilled chicken and a bottle of barbecue sauce that was almost empty and a serious craving for something crunchy took over.

The funny thing is that I wasn’t even trying to make tostadas because I was going for tacos but then I realized I had run out of soft shells and in a classic move I toasted up some tortillas instead and boom, it turned into crispy and best saucy .

I swear the first bite felt like a backyard cookout met a Tex-Mex food truck and they gave each other a high-five because there’s just something wild about how sweet and smoky barbecue sauce blends perfectly with shredded chicken and melty cheese and a crisp tortilla and oh wait don’t even get me started on the toppings because avocado and red onion and a little drizzle of ranch turned everything into a total game changer.

Ingredients :

• 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken or rotisserie chicken works great!
• 1 cup barbecue sauce your favorite kind
• 6 corn tortillas
• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• ½ cup chopped tomatoes
• ¼ cup chopped red onions optional
• ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Barbecue Chicken Tostadas

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), then prepare the tortillas. Brush both sides of the tortilla with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 2

Now you need to mix the chicken. Take a bowl and in this bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the barbecue sauce. Make sure it’s evenly coated. Then, assemble the tostadas: Take the baked tortillas and add a spoonful of barbecue chicken to each one. Sprinkle the top with shredded cheese.

Step 3

Now it’s time to bake again. Return them to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 4

As many toppings as you can add once they come out of the oven, add shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and onions, and a little sour cream on top. Finally, serve warm and enjoy your crispy, cheesy barbecue chicken tostadas!
