1 pound shredded meat from a rotisserie chicken (see Game Plan note)
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
8 tostada shells
Sour cream
Shredded romaine lettuce
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
1 small red onion
thinly sliced
Thinly sliced jalapenos
Hot sauce
Instructions
Heat the refried beans in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, adding a tablespoon or so of water if they begin to look dry, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside.
Warm the oil in a medium skillet or nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat.
Add the garlic and cook until its fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the shredded chicken, sprinkle in the cumin, and cook until the chicken is heated through, moving the pieces around with a pair of tongs, about 5 minutes.
Set aside.
Spread a tostada shell with a spoonful of beans, top with shredded chicken, and add a dollop of sour cream.
Pile shredded romaine on top, and sprinkle with queso fresco.
Garnish with onion slices, jalapenos, and a few drops of hot sauce.
