BBQ CHICKEN TOSTADAS
BBQ Chicken Tostadas are a simple meal the family will love, especially on busy nights. Pick up a rotisserie chicken from the store, use up leftovers, or even make a new batch in your slow cooker for a meal the family will love that comes together in minutes. This easy BBQ chicken tostada recipe is one of the best quick and easy dinner recipes for busy nights. Also, since you use corn tortillas, these barbecue chicken tostadas are also gluten free.
Anything that combines barbecue sauce, chicken, and cheese is going to be a winner, and these BBQ Chicken Tostadas were no exception. Shred some chicken, toss it in your favorite barbecue sauce sauce, pile it on the tostada shells (or corn tortillas crisped up in the oven), cover with cheese, and bake. Then all you have to do is drizzle on some more barbecue sauce before serving. It’s as simple as that. And let me tell you, they will be eaten just as quickly as they were made!

Ingredients
8 tostada shells or 8 corn tortillas, brushed lightly with olive oil and baked for 3-5 minutes per side, until crispy
3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
1 1/2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce, divided
2 cups shredded cheese (Mary uses mozzarella in the cookbook, but I have also used cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
3 green onions, very thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lay out the tostada shells (or baked tortillas) on two rimmed baking sheets.
Combine the chicken and 1 cup of the barbecue sauce in a small bowl, and stir to coat.
Divide the chicken between the tostada shells and top with the cheese (about ¼ cup on each).
Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with the remaining ½ cup barbecue sauce. Sprinkle with green onions, if desired.
