Chicken Taco Tostadas

Tostadas make for an easy weeknight dinner!  These Roasted Vegetable & Refried Bean Tostadas (from our blog archives!) are a delicious veggie option, but if you are in the mood for chicken tostadas, check out this recipe.  I feel like 2 tostadas can be pretty filling, you could cut it to 1.5 tostadas for 6.5pp instead if want! 

Servings: 4
Serving Size: 2 tostadas
Points Plus: 9pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:
12 oz. rotisserie chicken
Taco seasoning + water
8 corn tortillas
1 15 oz. can refried beans
8 oz. shredded Mexican cheese, reduced-fat
Fresh pico de gallo
Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions:
In a small saucepan, mix together taco seasoning and water over a low heat.  Add the rotisserie chicken and stir until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.  Lightly grease 2 large baking sheets and place 4 tortillas per baking sheet.  Spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla, extending to almost the edges.  Top each tortilla with about 1.5 oz. of taco chicken and 1 oz. of shredded cheese.  Bake the tostadas in a 300 degree oven for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and they are starting to brown.  To serve, add fresh pico de gallo and cilantro to each tostada.

Tip:
Homemade taco seasoning is SO much tastier than the packaged version!  I just picked up a jar of Penzey's spices which is a delicious blend of cumin, oregano, onion, allspice, paprika and much more.  Not only does it have WAY more flavor, it's also less expensive and you can buy it in bulk.
