Thursday: Rotisserie Chicken Tostada's

Pin It Now!

With the in-laws in town, I want to do some impressive cooking. I catered to my father-in-law last night with a lovely Italian soup. Tonight, my mother-in-law gets the attention. She loves Mexican food. Me? I'm not really the biggest fan of traditional Mexican food. However, I like when I can find a happy medium.

We made these a couple of weeks ago, some weekend where we were just kickin' it at the house. At the time I just wanted something super quick and easy. We just loved the feta in this. All the flavors blended really well together and it was a light tasting dish. Make a side of quac and chips and you've got a great, healthy meal.

Ingredients (recipe adapted from Allrecipes)

• 1 rotisserie chicken (meat pulled from bones and into torn or cut into strips)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon 40% less-sodium taco seasoning (such as Old El Paso)
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• Cooking spray
• 6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
• 3 cups packaged coleslaw
• 3 cups packed veggie slaw (Trader Joe's has a broccoli slaw that I love)
• 1 (7-ounce) can green salsa (or red)
• 4 cups chopped tomato
• 1/4 cup sliced ripe olives, chopped
• 1 can black beans (or re-fried black beans)
• 1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
• 6 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• Avacodo (chopped)
• 1/4 cup unsalted pumpkinseed kernels, toasted (optional)

Preparation

Place prepared chicken in a bowl. Add juice, seasoning and sugar. Mix well.

Heat a grill or grill pan. Place tortillas on grill rack or grill pan coated with cooking spray; grill 30 seconds on each side or until golden brown.

Combine coleslaw and salsa; toss to coat. Combine tomato and olives; toss gently.

Spread about 3 tablespoons beans over each tortilla; divide chicken evenly among tortillas. Top each serving with about 2/3 cup slaw mixture, 2/3 cup tomato mixture, 4 teaspoons cheese, 1 tablespoon sour cream, 2 teaspoons cilantro, and chopped avacado. Sprinkle each serving with 2 teaspoons pumpkinseeds, if desired.
