Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven broiler.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot.
  3. Fry corn tortillas one at a time in the hot oil until crisp, about 1 minute per side; drain on paper towels.
  4. Warm the refried beans and casera sauce separately in saucepans or microwave until hot.
  5. Spread approximately 1/4 cup of warm refried beans onto each fried tortilla.
  6. Top the beans with 2 tablespoons of casera sauce.
  7. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly over the tortillas, using about 1/3 cup per tostada.
  8. Add another 2 tablespoons of casera sauce over the chicken.
  9. Sprinkle each tostada with 2 tablespoons of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  10. Place the prepared tostadas on a broiler pan rack, ensuring they are 2 to 3 inches from the heat source.
  11. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3 minutes.
  12. Remove from oven and immediately top each tostada with 1/2 cup of shredded lettuce, 2 slices of avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.
  13. Serve immediately while the tortillas are still crisp.
