Video Tutorial: Mexican Chicken Tostadas

Hey Young Chefs!

Bienvenidos! Welcome! I recently came back from vacation in Cancun, Mexico and was inspired to create a Mexican dish. In this video, I make chicken tostadas. Here is the recipe:

Mexican Chicken Tostada

Chicken Tostadas

Ingredients:

Corn tortillas (you can crisp them in the oven beforehand by baking them at 400 degrees for 10 minutes)
3 cups shredded chicken (Tip: Buy roasted chicken from grocery store and shred with fingers)
1 can of mild Rotel (diced tomatoes & green chiles)
1 can of refried beans
Grated Mexican blend cheese
2 c. chopped lettuce
1 c. diced tomatoes
1/2 c. salsa

Directions:

Spread refried beans on corn tortillas, about 1 heaping tbsp. per tortilla. Mix can Rotel with shredded chicken. Spoon mixture on top of refried beans. Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. After tostada has cooled a little, top with lettuce, tomatoes & salsa. Makes 12 tostadas. Optional: You can also top with sour cream and guacamole! Ole!

Cool kids cook and get creative in the kitchen.

Bon Appetit! Eliana
