Notes
Tips and Techniques for the Best Chicken Tostadas
- You can use a packet of taco seasoning rather than making your own seasoning. Homemade taco seasoning is much more flavorful, but sometimes easy is best.
- Add any toppings you like to make these tostadas all your own. Additional toppings you may like are lettuce, salsa, onions, and avocado.
- Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Use within 3-4 days.
