- 3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
- 16 ounce can traditional refried beans
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 cups shredded cheese sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack
FOR GARNISH

Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- Brush both sides of the tortillas with oil and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, or until firmed up but not overly browned or crisp (they’ll crisp up a bit as they rest and during 2nd bake).

- Top each mini tostada with a small dollop of sour cream, a little diced onion, and pieces of cherry tomato.
