Print Recipe

These crispy, cheesy Mini Chicken Tostadas are the perfect bite-sized Tex-Mex treat! Baked, not fried, and piled high with refried beans, rotisserie chicken, and melty cheese, they’re a fun and flavorful option for dinner, parties, or game-day snacking—customizable with all your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Tostadas:

  • 12 street taco-size corn tortillas (about 4 inches)

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil (or as needed)

  • 1 (16 oz) can traditional refried beans (use just shy of the full can)

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken breast

  • 2 cups shredded cheese (sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack blend recommended)

Optional Garnishes:

  • ⅓ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion

  • ¼ cup chopped or torn fresh cilantro

  • 6 cherry or grape tomatoes, chopped small

  • Hot sauce (such as Cholula)

  • Optional extras: guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.

  • Bake tortillas: Lightly brush both sides of the corn tortillas with oil and arrange them snugly on the baking sheet. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, until the tortillas are firm but not browned. Let cool for about 5 minutes.

  • Flip and layer: Flip tortillas over and spread each with refried beans. Add shredded rotisserie chicken and top with shredded cheese.

  • Return to oven: Bake again for 5 to 6 minutes, until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through.

  • Add toppings: Garnish each tostada with your choice of sour cream, red onion, cilantro, tomatoes, hot sauce, and any other favorite toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use leftover chicken: Rotisserie chicken makes this recipe super quick, but any cooked and shredded chicken works.

  • Make it vegetarian: Skip the chicken and load up on seasoned beans and veggies instead.

  • Batch-friendly: This recipe easily doubles or triples for parties and gatherings.

  • Customize toppings: Add shredded lettuce, jalapeños, avocado slices, or a drizzle of lime crema for variety.

  • Reheating tip: For best results, reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
