BBQ Chicken Tostada
It’s no secret we love BBQ chicken in our house. We love to grill BBQ Chicken Breasts outside in the summer, or even make a delicious BBQ Chicken Pizza for Friday night movie nights. Our favorite barbeque sauce that I pick up from my local grocery store is Famous Dave’s Sweet and Zesty. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and spice, and goes great on anything. This family dinner recipe is perfect for those busy weeknights when you need something hearty and filling, but don’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.
BBQ Chicken Tostada Ingredients
- Chicken: I like to shred cooked chicken breasts from my instant pot, or if your in a pinch you can shred a rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store.
- BBQ Sauce: Use any flavor or brand of your favorite BBQ sauce. My families favorite BBQ sauce is Famous Dave’s Sweet and Zesty BBQ sauce. I can always find it in my local grocery stores.
- Tostada Shells: Any tostada shells from your grocery store will work well. I used white corn for my recipe.
- Mozzarella Cheese: You can substitute mozzarella cheese for Mexican blend, cheddar, or even pepper jack cheese.
