Mexican Rotisserie Chicken Tostadas are quick, satisfying, and full of flavor. Made with crispy tortillas topped with tender shredded rotisserie chicken, beans, corn, salsa, and melty cheese, they’re a perfect weeknight meal that’s easy to customize with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil or cooking spray
  • 1½ cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 8 oz salsa (store‑bought or homemade)
  • 15 oz black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 8½ oz canned corn, drained
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning mix
  • 2 cups Colby‑Jack cheese (shredded)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
  • Diced tomatoes, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and crisp tortillas: Preheat your oven to 450°F. Brush tortillas lightly with oil (or spray), place on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake about 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp and golden.
  2. Warm chicken mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine shredded chicken, salsa, taco seasoning, corn, and black beans. Stir occasionally and heat through (~5 minutes).
  3. Assemble tostadas: Remove baked tortillas from the oven. Spoon ~½ cup chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then top with ~¼ cup shredded cheese.
  4. Bake again: Return filled tortillas to oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove from oven, top with fresh cilantro and diced tomatoes. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free tortillas and taco seasoning.
  • If you don’t have taco seasoning, mix chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and a touch of cayenne as a substitute.
  • Flour tortillas can be used in place of corn tortillas, but they crisp up faster, so keep an eye on them in the oven.
  • Components can be prepped ahead of time, and the chicken mixture can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • The chicken-bean mixture can be frozen for up to 2 months, but it’s best not to freeze assembled tostadas as they lose their crispiness.
