Yesterday I posted the Easiest Crock Pot Salsa Verde Chicken recipe and promised to post the tostadas today. I made these for lunch and everyone in my home loved them (even my husband doesn’t care for cabbage). The cabbage adds just the right amount of texture and freshness with a hint of acidity that just works, and he loved it! One was enough to fill me up for lunch, but if you want this for dinner, I would go with two.

The crock pot chicken actually makes enough for 9 tostadas, but I only made 6 tostadas for sake of calculating to keep it an even number. It’s really not spicy at all, which is why I added jalapenos. If your family doesn’t like spicy food, then leave them out.  And if you can’t find tostada shells, you can follow the same recipe with corn taco shells instead.

If you don’t have plans for Cinco De Mayo, I suggest you give these a try!!
