1½ cups Monterey Jack cheese, freshly grated
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon cumin

¼ chili powder
1 jalapeño, finely diced (optional)

Directions:
Directions:

Preheat oven to 450°.

In a large bowl thoroughly combined the chicken, cheese, water, spices, jalapeño (if using) and juice of one lime.

On a large baking sheet (lined with foil for less mess) place the tortillas out in one even layer. Depending on the size of your baking sheet you may need to bake these in two batches.

Evenly distribute the chicken mixture on top of the 8 tortillas (the top layer should be about ½ inch tall) and bake until cheese begins to brown, about 12 to 13 minutes.

Squeeze in the remaining ½ lime on top of the cook tostadas and serve warm with sour cream, diced avocado, and cilantro leaves.
