Another great idea is Crock Pot Refried Beans. They are so easy in the slow cooker and really tasty.

Black beans are also tasty. We have even added those with the slow cooker chicken breasts mixture to stretch the meat.

Food Prep Tip for Easy chicken tostadas:

We keep diced onion and bell pepper in the freezer so it is easy to add to any recipe we like. Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop the onions.

If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver and you can get the veggies really fine if you have children that are picky.

I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.

This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.

Learn and  how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen!

Make sure you have a good crock pot to make chicken corn tostadas.

I have the Ninja cooking system and it is my absolute favorite. The nice thing about this is you can brown the meat in the same slow cooker.

It is nice to just have the one pan to clean and it is very handy. It has become of my favorite kitchen appliances.

If you are in the market for a new crockpot, this one is my favorite. I use this all the time and it’s great.

This is awesome for when you need to take the crockpot somewhere.  I often use the slow cooker to take dishes to potluck events and this feature is amazing!

There are several others on sale here.

Another favorite is this programmable crock pot  for when I am am not at home all day. I love coming home to a nice meal ready and waiting!

I also like to use crock pot liners to make clean up a breeze. These are worth every penny and save a ton of time.

If you don’t use the liners, I would use cooking spray.

Everyone will love chicken tostadas!

It is so family friendly and everyone will enjoy it. You can use what you have. We have even added green chiles to the recipe for shredded chicken for tacos.

Salsa verde chicken tostadas are really tasty and add a ton of flavor
