Steps

  1. Start by brushing melted butter on your casserole dish.
  2. Drape 9 to 10-inch tortillas over the casserole dish, covering the bottom and allowing some draping over the edges.
  3. On this layer, spread the rest of the pre-shredded cheese (this acts as the glue).
  4. Add chopped tomato and sour cream to the cheese layer.
  5. Place eight tostada shells on top, overlapping them slightly.
  6. Pour nachos cheese sauce straight from the can onto the crunch layer.
  7. Spread the chicken filling evenly over the tostadas. (To make the filling: heat up rotisserie/pre-cooked chicken; combine with drained pinto beans, 1/4 cup water, and taco seasoning packet; mash some of the beans to create a creamy texture; stir in the heated chicken.)
  8. Sprinkle chopped green onions into the filling.
  9. Add a little pre-shredded cheese into the filling layer.
  10. Place one more tortilla on top of the filling.
  11. Take the pieces of tortilla hanging over the sides and fold them over.
  12. Brush the rest of the melted butter onto the top surface to help glue the tortillas together.
  13. Optional: Place a small sheet pan (9x13) on top of the casserole for support while cooking.
  14. Bake in the oven at 425°F for about 20 minutes. Remove the top pan after the first 10 minutes.
