Chicken Tostadas

I love TexMex and try to make it a TexMex night at least once a week. Chicken Tostadas are super tasty and a quick and easy dinner option. Paired with a guacamole salad or fiesta rice, a flavor-packed TexMex dinner can be on your table in 30 minutes or less! I always make extra of this tasty filling to have for lunch the next day, wrapped up in a burrito or as a taco salad.
