BBQ Chicken Tostadas

So I shredded that chicken, tossed it in some sauce, piled it on the tostadas, covered with cheese, baked, and drizzled some more barbecue sauce. It�s as simple as that. And let me tell you, I think they were eaten just as quickly as they were made! A simple salad or some frozen veggies on the side, and you have a meal the family will love in no time at all.

Now as I said, I almost made the recipe as-is. The only difference was that I had corn tortillas, and, I�ll be honest, did not know you could buy tostada shells in the store already crisped up. So I brushed the tortillas lightly with little oil and baked them for three or four minutes on each side. Worked perfectly! And in these photos I made them with mozzarella, as per Mary�s recipe, but I have also made them with sharp cheddar, and they are equally delicious. Also,  I�ll be honest, I totally skipped the green onions on top because my boys don�t like them.
