Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
Brush both sides of the tortillas with oil and arrange them on the baking sheet, close together but not overlapping. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes until firm but not overly browned.
After baking, let the tortillas rest for around 5 minutes until they are cool enough to handle.
Flip each tortilla and spread refried beans on top, then add shredded chicken and cheese. Bake again for an additional 5 to 6 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
Serve each mini tostada topped with a dollop of sour cream, diced onion, cherry tomato pieces, and cilantro. Drizzle with your choice of hot sauce.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding spices to the refried beans.
Feel free to customize toppings according to your taste preferences.
