In a large baking sheet (lined with foil for less mess) lay the tortilla in an even layer. Depending on the size of your baking tray may need to cook these in two batches.
Evenly distribute the chicken mixture on top of tortilla 8 (the top layer should be ½ "tall) and bake until cheese begins to brown, about 12-13 minutes.

Squeeze the lemon and half left on top of the cooked toast and serve hot with sour cream, diced avocado and cilantro leaves.
