Ingredients
Scale

- In a small skillet over medium heat, warm shredded chicken with taco seasoning for 2–3 minutes.
- If using refried beans, spread a thin layer on each tostada shell. If using black beans, add them in the next step.
- Evenly divide the seasoned chicken among the tostadas. Top with black beans (if using) and drained corn.
