I am a food enthusiast living in Northeastern Ohio. Having lived in several states, before landing in Ohio, I have experienced many different food cultures. My belief is that food nourishes our bodies, hearts and minds. Food brings people together, there is nothing better than enjoying a good meal with family and friends. That being said, I have stacks of recipes from over the decades in 3-ring binders, old cookbooks and digital recipes on my computer. My original thought was to catalog all of them on my computer and get rid of the binders and such. My next thought was to share them. If they are on this website, they were worth sharing I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! (I will try my best to credit the original creator/author of the recipe if I can).

Love a quick and tasty dinner? Try these Barbecue Chicken Tostadas – crispy, cheesy, and just the right kick of BBQ! 

Ingredients:

8 tostada shells or 8 corn tortillas, brushed lightly with olive oil and baked for 3-5 minutes per side, until crispy

3 cups cooked and shredded chicken

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

2 cups shredded cheese (Mozzarella, cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend recommended)

3 green onions, very thinly sliced (optional)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Lay out the tostada shells on two rimmed baking sheets.

In a small bowl, combine the chicken with 1 cup of barbecue sauce and stir to coat evenly.

Evenly divide the sauced chicken across the tostada shells and top each with about ¼ cup of cheese.

Bake in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until the cheese is thoroughly melted.

Remove from the oven and drizzle with the remaining ½ cup of barbecue sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
