Tostadas for Two

Don't buy those tostada shells that come in a box at the store - don't do it....make your own - it's easy and makes all the difference in taste!

Here's what we had available for dinner:

leftover grilled chicken breasts
cherry tomatoes
refried beans
onion
jarred japalenos
pepper jack cheese
limes
corn tortillas
salsa

Chop the chicken, jalapenos, and onion.  Slice the cherry tomatoes in half or fourths and lightly salt.  Grate the cheese.  Heat about a cup of the beans mixed with a pat of butter.

Heat a thin layer of canola oil in a small skillet over med-hi heat.  Fry four tortillas, one at a time, a couple of minutes til crisp and drain on paper towels.  Sprinkle with salt.

Drain the oil except for about 1 T and add in 1 T butter.

Add the chicken mixture and salsa, until heated through, squeezing lime juice over top.  Spread a thin layer of beans on the tostada shells, top with the hot mixture, top with cheese and fresh tomatoes.

This meal was delicioso!
