For extra flavor, marinate the diced chicken in the taco seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Feel free to customize the toppings! Black olives, jalapenos, avocado, or a drizzle of lime juice would all be delicious additions. To prevent soggy tostadas, avoid over-filling the shells and ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking. These tostadas are a great way to use up leftover cooked chicken.
