Ingredients

Scale

8 corn tortillas (6 inch)

1 tbsp vegetable oil

8.5 oz corn, drained

1 1/2 c shredded cooked chicken

8 oz salsa

2 tbsp taco seasoning (storebought or homemade)

15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed

2 c colby jack cheese, shredded

Fresh cilantro

Tomatoes


Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450°F. Place the corn tortillas on a baking sheet. Lightly brush both sides with some oil.

Pop the tortillas in the oven. Bake them for 10 minutes flipping them halfway through. Keep an eye on them so they don’t get burnt. They should turn a golden color and become crispy.

Take a saucepan. Combine the chicken, salsa, taco seasoning, corn and black beans. Cook everything over heat for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally until everything is heated through.

Take each tortilla. Spoon 1/2 cup of the filling mixture, onto it. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese on top.

Place the tostadas back in the oven for another 5 minutes. Until the cheese has completely melted.

Out of the oven garnish your delicious Easy Chicken Tostadas with cilantro and diced tomatoes. They’re now ready to be enjoyed!
