These easy Chicken Tostadas are the perfect weeknight dinner dish. They come together in under 20 minutes and are delicious. They are made with chicken, refried beans, cheese, lettuce, pico, and cilantro piled high on a baked tostada shell. These are simple to make and are always a crowd favorite. Make it with me!

Baked Chicken Tostadas

If you want to shake up your traditional taco night, try these baked chicken tostadas. They have the same feeling and flexibility as tacos but are baked on a tostada shell.

You can top each tostada with anything you traditionally like on your taco. My favorite recipe includes shredded lettuce, pico, crumbled cheese, cilantro, and chicken.

Feel free to swap or add any of your favorites to this delicious dish.

Shredded Chicken

One of the things that makes this recipe so fast is using pre-cooked chicken.

I recommend using rotisserie chicken or shredded chicken you have already prepped. This keeps this recipe under 20 minutes.

I suggest trying my shredded sweet chicken if you need to make chicken for this recipe. It’s one of my all-time favorite ways to prepare chicken.

However, you can also use shredded beef or pork for this recipe if you prefer those proteins over chicken.
