BBQ sauce can enhance and add a different flavor to the other standby. I’ve used it in place of pizza sauce for my BBQ pulled pork pizza and added it to meatloaf to make a BBQ cheeseburger meatloaf. This keto tostada recipe uses tangy BBQ sauce to add a twist to the old standard.

This tostada recipe just needs a few simple ingredients. You may already have these items on hand and if you don’t, you can pick up from the store along with a rotisserie chicken. Getting a rotisserie chicken from the deli is the easiest way to make these BBQ chicken tostadas. But any leftover chicken, or even canned chicken, will work as long as the flavors pairs well with BBQ sauce.

  1. The red onions added the perfect tangy crunch and paired so well with the melty cheddar! I used the air fryer version and loved how crispy the tortilla got in just 6 minutes at 350°F. Definitely keeping this as my go-to for using up leftover chicken!
