  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place tortillas on a cookie sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray, and place in oven.

Pour this mixture over the chicken in the medium bowl, tossing with fork to distribute. Stir remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice into yogurt in another small bowl; set aside.
  3. Remove tortillas from oven when brown, about 7-9 minutes. Top each one with ½ cup of chicken mixture. Top with chopped scallions and lime-yogurt mixture.

Description: 

These tostadas can be made with leftover roasted chicken or with a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Skip buying expensive pre-cooked boxed tostadas and try fresh white or yellow corn tortillas (often found in the refrigerated tortillas section, or Latino section of your supermarket—local brands are often about $1-2 for 24 or more tortillas) and bake them yourself (you’d have to heat the boxed kind anyway!). You can choose to leave the chicken mixture cold, or warm it a bit in the microwave.
