Recipe Steps

steps 4

19 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper as well. Arrange two, ½-cup portions of shredded cheddar cheese into thin discs on the parchment paper. Bake the discs for 4 minutes. These will serve as the tostadas.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Allow the cheddar tostadas to cool for 5 minutes so they harden and solidify. Meanwhile, use a pair of forks to shred your pre-cooked chicken into thin pieces. Combine the shredded chicken in a bowl with the salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Once the cheddar tostadas are cooled, prepare them by distributing the pulled chicken on top. Then, thinly slice the avocado and place it on top of the chicken. Finally, sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the tostadas.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Enjoy with a fresh squeeze of lime juice!

    I LOVE baked cheese crisps like this, BUT I hate heating up the oven mid-summer. Could I just fry them in a griddle? Would I need to flip them over once?

                    It means carb manager is adjusting to your macros, so just eat 3/4 of the recipe size of 2 tostadas.

                    Hi there, Could you tell me where you are seeing ".75 of 2 tostadas"? The original recipe here makes 1 serving of 2 tostadas, however 75% of 2 tostadas would be 1.5.

                  I don’t understand why the recipe says yield 1+2 tostadas. My guess is I’m supposed to eat 2?

                    One serving is 2 tostadas. In the Yield section, you can click the - and + buttons to adjust how many servings you would like to make in the recipe, and the ingredients will adjust accordingly. In this case, the original recipe here makes 1 serving of 2 tostadas. Hope this helps!

                  Absolutely the best! I make these into enchiladas instead by pulling the cheese out a little earlier so the are still flexible when they cool. Shred the pre cooked chicken with a cheese grater and add New Mexico green and red sauce on top after rolling them. Made twice now, probably my favorite keto meal next to traditional chili Rellenos

                  Yum! Haven't made these yet but was inspired to make something similar: used 1/4 cup cheddar for each "tostada" and topped with guacamole, bacon, sour cream, and a sprinkling of green onions. I also decided to put 1/2 of a romain lettuce leaf under each "tostada" to provide more stability and a little freshness. SO GOOD. We'll definitely be repeating this and experimenting with more baked-cheddar-disk (frico) recipes!
