BBQ Chicken & Roasted Garlic Black Bean Tostadas
A tostada (Spanish meaning Toasted) is the name given to various Mexican dishes and other parts of Latin America.
The tostada, when broken into bite size pieces, can be consumed with a dip, like guacamole or salsa.
Corn tortillas are typically used for tostadas though you can also use flour tortillas.

The ingredients include cooked chicken, pork, or beef, and including cheese, sour cream, chopped lettuce, onions, radishes, and salsa.

Tostadas unlike chalupas, enchiladas or tacos, are not folded or rolled, but are kept flat.
There are numerous variations of tostada recipes throughout Mexico and Latin America.
And because the tostada can’t not make a claim to only one traditional tostada recipe, the following is a tostada recipe in addition to several hundred other variations.

When oil is hot, fry tortillas individually (one at a time) both sides, turning 2-3 times. Set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
Cook’s Notes
Before frying the tortillas, make sure oil is hot. If not hot enough tortillas will soak up oil. The hotter the oil, the less time the tortilla has to be in the oil.
Assembling Tostadas
Divide and spread the refried black beans, shredded bbq chicken, sour cream, and topping (in that order) among the four fried tortillas.
Plate and serve.
