Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 8 tostada shells
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage mix or coleslaw mix
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • Pickled jalapeños or quick-pickled red onions, for topping (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

Method
 

  1. Toss the shredded cabbage with mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until coated. Set aside.
  2. Combine shredded chicken and BBQ sauce in a skillet over medium heat. Simmer, stirring, for 5 minutes until thickened and glossy. Keep warm.
  3. Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange tostada shells on a baking sheet and bake 4 to 5 minutes until crisp and golden at the edges.
  4. Top warm shells with cheese, BBQ chicken, slaw, and any optional toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you have time, let the slaw sit for 10 minutes before topping so the flavors meld. Assemble only what you plan to eat right away, and store extra components separately.
