Preparation

Prepare the Tostada Base

1. Fry the Tortillas

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the corn tortillas one at a time, frying each for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.

Prepare the Chicken Filling

2. Cook the Chicken

In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and thighs, ensuring they are well coated in the spice mixture. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding the chicken.

Assemble the Tostadas

3. Layer the Ingredients

On each crispy tortilla, layer the shredded chicken, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and shredded cheese. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
