Scale
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 300g)

- Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces. Optionally, toss with taco seasoning for extra flavor.
- Prepare toppings: chop lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Get guacamole, salsa, and sour cream ready.
- Spread a thin layer of warm refried beans on each tostada shell.
- Top with shredded chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and other desired toppings.
- Drizzle with sour cream, add guacamole, spoon on salsa, sprinkle with cilantro, and squeeze lime juice over the top.
- Serve immediately to maintain crispiness.
