Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup sugar-free BBQ sauce
- 4 keto tostada shells
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients needed for the Keto BBQ Chicken Tostadas. This includes 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken, 1/2 cup of sugar-free BBQ sauce, 4 keto tostada shells, 1 cup of shredded lettuce, 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, and 1/4 cup of sliced green onions.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with the sugar-free BBQ sauce. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce. This will infuse the chicken with flavor and moisture.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating, prepare your tostada shells. If you prefer them extra crispy, you can place them on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
- Once the tostada shells are ready, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. This will make them easier to handle.
- Now, take a generous portion of the BBQ chicken mixture and spoon it onto each tostada shell. Spread it evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Next, top the BBQ chicken with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Be as generous as you like with each topping to create a colorful and appetizing dish.
- Finally, sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top of each tostada for added flavor and a pop of color.
- Serve the Keto BBQ Chicken Tostadas immediately while they are still warm. Enjoy them as a delicious low-carb meal or snack!
Tips
- Choose the Right BBQ Sauce: Not all sugar-free BBQ sauces are created equal. Look for brands with zero added sugars and minimal carbs to keep your tostadas truly keto-friendly.
- Crispy Tostada Shell Hack: For extra crunchiness, brush your keto tostada shells with a light olive oil before toasting to enhance their texture and flavor.
- Meal Prep Magic: Cook and shred your chicken in advance to make assembly super quick on busy nights. The BBQ chicken mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add keto-friendly extras like sliced jalapeños, avocado chunks, or a dollop of sour cream for extra richness.
- Temperature Matters: Serve these tostadas immediately after assembly to maintain the perfect balance of warm chicken and crisp shells.
