These tostadas can be made with leftover roasted chicken or with a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Skip buying expensive pre-cooked boxed tostadas and try fresh white or yellow corn tortillas (often found in the refrigerated tortillas section, or Latino section of your supermarket—local brands are often about $1-2 for 24 or more tortillas) and bake them yourself (you’d have to heat the boxed kind anyway!). You can choose to leave the chicken mixture cold, or warm it a bit in the microwave.
