Notes
Always warm tostada shells to prevent breaking.
Use a thin layer of beans to keep the tostada sturdy.
Prepare all toppings before assembling for fast and fun building.
Don't overload the tostada to avoid sogginess.
Store leftover toppings separately; never store an assembled tostada.
Reheat beans and chicken in the microwave; warm fresh shells in the oven for 3 minutes before reassembling.
