Description

Quick and delicious tostadas topped with seasoned rotisserie chicken, fresh avocado, and zesty lime, perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole rotisserie chicken
  • 8 tostada shells
  • 1 avocado, sliced or mashed

  2. Shred the Chicken: Remove skin and bones from the rotisserie chicken, shredding the meat into bite-sized pieces.

  5. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with lime juice and top with cilantro. Serve immediately.
