Buffalo Chicken Tostadas
What a fun and tasty meal! If you’re a fan of buffalo wings, or buffalo anything, you’ll love this! And it’s versatile. Make it into a salad, wrap it in a soft tortilla, or stuff it in a pita pocket. You really can’t go wrong. But, I have say – the crunch of the tostada was a winner.
