For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the chicken salad. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of jalapeños or remove the seeds before dicing. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or a drizzle of hot sauce for an added touch. Store leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Tostadas are best when served fresh.
