Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a large baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
Brush both sides of the tortillas with oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet closely together. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes until they are firm but not overly browned.
Remove from the oven and allow the tortillas to cool for about 5 minutes until they are manageable.
Flip the tortillas over and spread each with refried beans, then top with shredded chicken and cheese. Return to the oven to bake for an additional 5 to 6 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
Add a small dollop of sour cream on each tostada, followed by diced onion, two pieces of cherry tomato, and cilantro. Serve with hot sauce.

Notes

Feel free to customize toppings according to your preferences, such as adding jalapeños or additional vegetables.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
These tostadas can also be made vegetarian by omitting the chicken and adding more beans or vegetables.
