Instructions
Making the BBQ Chicken Tostadas
- Preheat broiler to 450°F.
- In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, mayonnaise, brown sugar, vinegar and black pepper. Toss with coleslaw and green onions. Refrigerate until serving.
- Heat baked beans in a small saucepan on low heat for about 10 minutes; stir frequently, slightly mashing as you stir.
- In a medium saucepan, mix chicken and BBQ sauce; cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Arrange tortillas on a large baking sheet. Spray with nonstick spray or spray butter. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven, flip over tortillas, spray with butter, and broil on the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- To assemble tostadas, spread beans evenly among the 6 tortillas, top with chicken mixture and cheese. Return to oven and broil tostadas for an additional 1-2 minutes to melt and brown cheese.
- Top with prepared coleslaw. Cut as desired and serve immediately.
