I have become a huge fan of these BBQ Chicken Tostadas! Not only are they delicious, but they're the perfect meal to make on busy weeknights. All you need are 5 simple ingredients and you've got a dinner that's bursting with flavor and quick to get on the table.
I first tried tostadas when my neighbor made me some. I was recovering from surgery and she dropped off a plate. She owns food trucks and her food is divine. My recipe isn't quite as refined but it definitely satisfies my cravings for Mexican food!
These tostadas are piled high with chicken, cheese, bbq sauce, and green onions. The best part about this recipe is that is very easy to customize it to your tastes. Don't have chicken? Try pulled pork or roasted cauliflower instead! Want to add extra veggies? Go for it! There are no strict rules when it comes to tostadas!
Give them a try and let us know how they turn out!

Add your shredded chicken to the top of each tostada and top with cheese.
Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is all melted.
Remove from oven and drizzle with more BBQ sauce and sprinkle sliced green onions over top. You could also garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
