Mini Chicken Tostadas with Avocado
I was craving some Mexican food for lunch so I went through my refrigerator to see what I had on hand. I had some leftover roasted chicken, cilantro, green onion, jalapeno, cotija cheese, mini tortillas, and mixed greens along with salsa and sour cream. I finished these mini chicken tostadas off with some tomatoes and avocado on top. I made them healthier by cooking them in a skillet with cooking spray instead of oil. They were light and delicious without all the guilt and I loved every single bite. In fact, I loved it so much, I had them again today.
How to Make Mini Chicken Tostadas with Avocado
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Coat both sides of the mini corn tortillas with cooking spray. Place the tortillas in the hot skillet, pressing them flat, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Place the chicken, cilantro, green onion, and jalapeno on the chopping board. Using a chef’s knife, chop the ingredients and toss them together. Season with a bit of sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and coriander, to taste. Toss together and place into a glass bowl. Heat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until warmed through.
Slather the bottom of the crisp mini tostada shells with a bit of sour cream followed by some mixed greens, chicken mixture, avocado, tomato, and cotija cheese. Serve with salsa on the side. Enjoy.
And now I would like to come over for lunch!
Good fat, lean protein..and not to mention it’s DELICIOUS!!
Yum! I say this all the time, but it’s true- you make the most amazing meals from what you find in your fridge, Pam!
This looks incredibly good–and I love that it was a “make do” type recipe. Been doing that myself for the last few days as I didn’t want to make a trip to the store. 🙂 Can’t wait to try this one!
Anything with avocado in is fine by me, love the sound of these for lunch.
