Salsa Verde Chicken Tostadas
If you’ve already made my Salsa Verde Chicken, these crispy chicken tostadas are an easy, high-protein way to turn leftovers into a weeknight win. The fresh cabbage adds crunch and brightness, and they’re always a hit in my house.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup shredded red cabbage
- 2 tsp fresh lime juice (or more to taste)
- 5 cilantro leaves
- salt (to taste)
- 2 cups easy crock pot chicken salsa verde (warmed)
- 6 tostada shells (Ortega)
- 3/4 cup Mexican Cheese (shredded part-skim)
- pickled jalapeño slices (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the shredded cabbage with lime juice, cilantro and salt, to taste. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place tostada shells on a baking sheet. When the oven is hot, layer 1/3 cup of chicken, 2 tbsp shredded cheese and jalapenos over each tostada shell.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and the shells are crisp, about 4 minutes.
- Top with shredded cabbage and enjoy!
Notes
One batch of the Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken yields enough for about 9 tostadas. I made 6 tostadas, which means you’ll have extra chicken to make more tostadas, or use in tacos, bowls, or salads later in the week.
