3 cups cooked and shredded chicken

1 1/2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lay out the tostada shells (or baked tortillas) on two rimmed baking sheets.

  3. Divide the chicken between the tostada shells and top with the cheese (about ¼ cup on each).

  5. Remove from the oven and drizzle with the remaining ½ cup barbecue sauce. Sprinkle with green onions, if desired.
