Chicken Tostadas
These easy chicken tostadas are made with juicy shredded chicken breast cooked in the crockpot served on top of crunchy tostadas and piled high with toppings. One of my favorite at home Mexican meals!Tostadas are so underrated to me. I never see people make them, but my mom has been making them for us for years. I thought of them the other day and called her up to see how she used to make hers. I was so surprised when she told me all she did was cook chicken in store bought salsa. I remember it being so flavorful I thought it would be way more complex lol.So, I just love this recipe because the chicken could not be easier. Just throw some of your favorite salsa and a couple chicken breasts in the crockpot. That's all the cooking you have to do!In a few hours, perfectly cooked juicy and flavored chicken will be ready for you to build your tostadas.The best part of any Mexican dish are the toppings though. Plenty of fresh cilantro, shredded lettuce, cheese, sour cream, red onion, avocado and lime. Did I forget anything?And yes these look messy. But the messier the tastier, right?! Basically, I layered my tostadas starting with a tostada and chicken and then another tostadas, chicken and all of the toppings. Of course you can build yours how you like!I hope you enjoy how yummy and easy this recipe is and switch up your next taco Tuesday with these tostadas!
