Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 425°F. Lightly oil two sheet pans or line them with parchment.
- Arrange tortillas on pans. Brush both sides with olive oil.
- Bake tortillas 6–8 minutes, flipping once, until lightly crisp and golden at the edges.
- Stir chicken with salsa, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
- Warm refried beans until smooth and spreadable on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Spread a thin layer of beans on each crisp tortilla.
- Spoon on the seasoned chicken and sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
- Return pans to the oven and bake 5–7 minutes, until cheese melts and edges are crisp.
- Top with lettuce, tomato, red onion, jalapeño, avocado, and cilantro. Drizzle with crema and hot sauce.
- Serve hot right off the pan for the best crunch.
Notes
Swap refried beans with smashed black beans, or use chipotle salsa for a smoky kick. For extra crunch, broil the assembled tostadas for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely. If prepping ahead, crisp the tortillas and mix the chicken earlier; add fresh toppings just before serving.
