Mexican Chicken Salad (Tostadas)

We serve this when we have leftover chicken and beans.  Teams always love it.  It's a light meal, basically just an excuse to show off good salsa and guacamole.


Toppings for fried flour tortillas or tostada shells:
  • Canned refried beans, mixed with a small amount of salsa (I use dried beans, cooked and mashed in food processor with some of the liquid and salsa) 
  • shredded cooked chicken (we like pollo rostizado, or roast chicken, like they sell at Sam’s Club) 
  • tomatoes, cut up 
  • shredded lettuce 
  • sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (I sometimes use Oaxaca cheese) 
  • guacamole (click for recipe)   
  • cilantro leaves 
  • red and/or green tomato salsa (recipes are here, or just use Pace Picante, or some ready-made kind) 
  • sour cream 
  • (optional: canned chopped green chilies or jalapenos)
