Ingredients
  

  • 8 corn tortillas corn tortillas Choose 6-inch size for the best balance of crunch and hold.
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil Helps crisp up the tortillas nicely.
  • 8.5 ounces canned corn Provides sweetness and texture, drained before use.
  • 1.5 cups cooked chicken Shredded rotisserie chicken works perfectly here.
  • 8 ounces salsa Use store-bought or homemade to add flavor depth.
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix Enhances the overall taste of the chicken mixture.
  • 15 ounces black beans Rinsed and drained, they add protein and fiber.
  • 2 cups shredded colby jack cheese Melts beautifully over the tostadas for a cheesy finish.
  • fresh cilantro leaves For garnish and added freshness.
  • tomatoes Diced, they provide a juicy burst of flavor on top.

Method
 

  1. Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the corn tortillas one at a time, frying them until they are golden and crispy on both sides. This should take about 1-2 minutes per side; be careful not to burn them! Once done, place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken with taco seasoning mix and salsa. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly coated with salsa and seasoning.
  3. Fold in the rinsed black beans and drained corn into the chicken mixture. Ensure all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
  4. Take each crispy tortilla and layer it generously with the chicken mixture followed by a sprinkle of shredded colby jack cheese on top.
  5. Top each assembled tostada with fresh diced tomatoes and cilantro leaves for brightness and flavor contrast.
  6. Serve your tostadas warm with wedges of lime on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
