2) Preheat smoker to 250F, add the seasoned chicken thighs and foil packet to the smoker and smoke for 1.5 – 2 hours turning foil packet over every 30 minutes.
3) Mix 1 cup sour cream, 2 tbsp of your favorite hot sauce, and 1 tbsp Mesquite Fajita Seasoning in a small bowl. Set aside and refrigerate.
4) When chicken thighs reach 175F internal temperature, remove along with the foil packet, rest for 15 minutes then shred chicken with two forks.
5) Add shredded chicken, vegetables, and cheese to center of tortilla. Place the tostada shell on top of the meat & vegetables. Add lettuce, tomato, avocado on top of tostada shell.
6) Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fold edges of tortilla toward center and fold the crosswise edges toward the center to make a wrap. Place the wrap seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes to create a seal. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tortilla is golden brown.
