These Air Fryer Tostadas are a fast and simple dinner or lunch idea that takes about 5 minutes from start to finish making it perfect for a quick bite!
Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Top with taco seasoning, evenly sprinkling it over the breasts. Pour the enchilada sauce over the top.
Cook on low or 7-8 hours or on high for 5-6 hours. Shred chicken and serve/use as desired.
Making Air Fryer Tostadas
Place one tortilla into the air fryer and place a trivet or small wire rack over the top to help hold it down. This will help to prevent the tortilla from flying around in the basket as it cooks.
Cook the tortilla at 390 degrees F for 3-4 minutes (depending on how dark you want it) and flip it halfway through the cooking process.
Top your tortilla with about ¼ cup of beans, ¼ cup of shredded chicken, and 3 tablespoons of cheddar cheese before air frying for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Remove the tostada and then top with your favorite toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, or black olives.
Repeat the cooking process for all tostadas and serve warm.
Notes
Recipe Tips
You can use any meat (or no meat at all depending on your preference). I included steps for making Crockpot Chicken with Enchilada Sauce as a simple taco meat choice but you don't have to include it at all in your tostadas.
You can use storebought tostada shells if you do not wish to make your own. Just skip down to the recipe step where you assemble the tostadas before heating to melt the cheese. This will reduce the cooking time to about 2 minutes per tostada.
If you use a gluten free tostada shell or a gluten free corn tortilla then the recipe will be gluten free. Just make sure to double check the ingredient labels on any sauces, beans, or taco seasoning that you may use as they could contain gluten.
