Step-by-Step Instructions for BBQ Chicken Tostadas
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and arrange the small corn tortillas on a baking sheet. Brush each lightly with olive oil, then bake for 5-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce, stirring until fully coated. Let it sit while checking on the tortillas.
  3. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Distribute the BBQ chicken mixture over the crispy tortillas and top with mozzarella cheese.
  4. Return the tostadas to the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  5. Remove from the oven, drizzle with leftover BBQ sauce, and sprinkle with green onions. Serve warm.
