How to Make
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 2 large sheet pans with cooking spray. Lay 6 tortillas on each sheet pan and spray the tops with the cooking spray. Cook for 7-8 minutes until the tortillas are lightly crispy.
Step 2
Meanwhile, pour the refried beans into a medium bowl and add the taco seasoning, and stir together.
Step 3
Remove the tortillas from the oven. Top with the refried beans, chicken, and shredded cheddar. Bake for another 5 minutes until the beans and chicken are heated through and the cheese is melted.
Step 4
Put 3 tostadas on each plate and serve with your favorite toppings.
How to Store Leftovers
Once the tostadas cool to room temperature, store in an airtight container in the fridge. Use within 3-5 days.
What to Serve With These
I usually eat these by themselves, with a few extra toppings. But you could serve this with a side of Spanish rice, or even a small salad!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you keep the tortillas from getting soggy?
Usually, the first part of baking just the tortillas helps keep them from getting soggy!
When you're reheating them, be sure to use the oven or toaster oven to crisp it back up again.
Can you use a different protein?
Instead of chicken, you can use cooked ground beef. Or you can make it vegetarian by not using meat!
Can you use flour tortillas instead of corn?
Yes, just keep an eye on them when you do the pre-bake. Flour tortillas may not need as long to crisp up.
