Description

These Mexican Rotisserie Chicken Tostadas are a quick and flavorful meal featuring crispy baked corn tortillas topped with a seasoned chicken mixture, melted colby jack cheese, fresh cilantro, and tomatoes.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Tortillas

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

Chicken Mixture

  • 8.5 ounces canned corn (drained)
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 ounces salsa (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
  • 15 ounces black beans (rinsed and drained)

Toppings

  • 2 cups shredded colby jack cheese
  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Bake the Tortillas Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lay the tortillas on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush the tortillas with canola oil, ensuring a thin, even coat so the entire side appears shiny without pooling. Flip them and repeat the brushing on the other side. Bake the tortillas for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through and rotating the pan for even cooking. Keep an eye on the tortillas by checking them every 2 to 3 minutes to prevent burning, as baking times may vary depending on your oven and pans. Note that if using flour tortillas, they may require less time.
  2. Cook the Chicken Mixture While the tortillas are baking, place a medium to large saucepan over medium heat. Combine the chicken, salsa, taco seasoning, corn, and black beans in the saucepan. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through, which should take about 5 minutes.
  3. Assemble and Melt Cheese Once the tortillas are baked, remove them from the oven. Add 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture to the top of each tortilla. Then, top each tortilla with 1/4 cup of cheese. Place the loaded tortillas back in the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
  4. Garnish and Serve After baking, remove the tortillas from the oven. Top them with fresh cilantro leaves and diced tomatoes for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your deliciously crispy and cheesy topped tortillas!

Notes

  • Keep an eye on the tortillas by checking every 2 to 3 minutes to prevent burning, as baking times may vary depending on your oven and pans.
  • If using flour tortillas, they may require less time.
