Rotisserie Chicken Street Corn Tostada
These tostadas are my love letter to Mexican street food, the elote carts, the corner taquerías, and my dad's own food truck in south Phoenix where the line forms for his carnitas. I took everything I love about street corn, the char, the lime, the creamy and cheesy tang, and piled it with rotisserie chicken onto a crispy tostada for a weeknight that tastes like a festival. It is fast, because I lean on rotisserie chicken, but it carries all that bright street energy I grew up around. Build them tall, squeeze on extra lime, and eat them while they still crunch.
These Rotisserie Chicken Street Corn Tostadas are a quick and flavorful meal made with crispy baked corn tortillas, creamy guacamole, juicy rotisserie chicken, and a zesty street corn slaw. Ready in just 25 minutes, they’re perfect for busy weeknights or casual entertaining!
