Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Tostadas: In a large, heavy skillet, heat approximately 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Fry the Tortillas: Carefully slide one tortilla at a time into the hot oil. If the tortilla puffs up, gently press it down with a fork to ensure even crisping. (2 minutes per tortilla)

03

Step
20 mins

Drain and Cool: Once golden brown and crisp, remove the tostada to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. (20 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Prepare the Chicken Salad: In a medium bowl, flake the drained chicken with a fork. (2 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Add the Flavors: Stir in the mayonnaise, diced jalapeños (reserving the liquid), and jalapeño juice. (3 minutes)

06

Step
1 mins

Season to Perfection: Season the chicken salad generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all ingredients. (1 minute)

07

Step
1 mins

Assemble and Serve: Spread a generous amount of the twisted chicken salad evenly over each crispy tostada. Serve immediately and enjoy!

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.
