Notes

How do I make tostadas spicy?

These Roasted Chicken Tostadas are so delicious as a spicy dish. Add red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeno pepper to the beans. And hot salsa or hot sauce on top of each tostada can really turn up the heat! You'll be sure to want some sour cream on the side to cool things down!
