Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (can sub ¼-½ cup salsa)
  • 4 tortillas (I use almond flour tortillas)

  • 1 can refried beans (can sub smashed avocado)
  • shredded lettuce
  • chopped tomatoes or salsa
  • fresh cilantro
  • sour cream or ranch (I use my ranch dressing recipe)
  • diced or pickles onion (I use my pickled onions recipe)

Instructions
 

Shredded Chicken

  • Combine chicken and choice of taco seasoning or salsa into a slow cooker.
  • Cook the chicken on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
  • Once cooked, shred the chicken and mix together with the seasoning you chose to recombine the two.

Tostadas

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • Place tortillas on your baking sheet, spaced apart. Bake it for 10 minutes or until golden, creating a crunchy tostada, then set aside.

Chicken Tostadas

  • On each tostada, spread on a thick layer of refried beans or avocado, then top with the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes or salsa, onions or pickled onions, sour cream or ranch and fresh cilantro. Note that you can use any toppings you like, these are just my favorite and the ones shown in this recipe!
