Instructions

Line a large baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup and preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
Brush both sides of the tortillas with oil and arrange them on the prepared cookie sheet, keeping them close together.
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes until the tortillas firm up but are not overly browned.
Remove from the oven and let the tortillas rest for about 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
Flip the tortillas over, spread refried beans on each, and top with shredded chicken and cheese.
Return to the oven and bake for another 5 to 6 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
Top with a dollop of sour cream, diced onion, cherry tomato pieces, and cilantro before serving.

Notes

You can customize the toppings to include your favorite veggies or hot sauce for added flavor.
These tostadas are best enjoyed fresh but can be made ahead and reheated!
Feel free to adjust the amount of cheese based on your preference.
