Chicken & Cheese Tostada

Ingredients:

Tostada shells
16 oz. can refried beans
1 c. salsa
2 c. diced chicken (already cooked)*
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
diced tomatoes
lettuce

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
2. Line 2 cookie sheets with foil or parchment paper.
3. Place tostada shells on cookie sheets.
4. In a bowl, mix refried beans and salsa. (If the mixture looks like canned dog food at this point, you know you’re doing it right. I promise it tastes better than it looks.)
5. Spread some of the bean/salsa mix on each tostada shell. I used about 2 tablespoons per shell, but you can use more or less.
6. Sprinkle chicken on top of the bean/salsa mix.
7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken.
8. Bake for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and chicken is warm*.
9. Serve with your choice of toppings.

*Chicken Note: Because the cheese melts quickly, it helps to warm the chicken before you assemble these. They’re not in the oven long enough to get the chicken really hot.
