As a food blogger, it’s pretty much impossible for me to look at a recipe from a cookbook or another website or blog and just make it as-is. The creative juices are always flowing, and somehow it is beyond me to leave well-enough alone.
Anything that combines barbecue sauce, chicken, and cheese is going to be a winner. These BBQ Chicken Tostadas were no exception. Shred some chicken, toss it in your favorite barbecue sauce, and pile it on the tostada shells (or corn tortillas crisped up in the oven). Then cover with cheese and bake. Before serving, just drizzle on some more barbecue sauce. It’s as simple as that. And let me tell you, they will be eaten just as quickly as they were made!
Pick up a rotisserie chicken from the store, use up leftovers, or even make a new batch in your slow cooker to make this easy dinner recipe the family will love.
