Bergy's Note:

I like to heat the Tostado shells for apprx 10 minutes in a 325f oven or until they are golden. You can make them Vegetarian too - I have used Mexican veggie ground and made a guacamole to go on instead of slices - Even use a tofu cheese if you wish. Use any type of meat that you wish instead of the chicken - These tostados are fun to serve for a gang watching sports or after skating etc etc. Takes minutes in the final preparation. The cook time is the time to heat the already prepared beans and chicken
