As many of you know, Greg and I both love to cook. We are quite a great team in the kitchen. We plan our meals a week ahead and each night we cook together, have some fun, share some laughs, and then enjoy a great meal.
We are always trying new recipes and a lot of friends often ask for some of our recipes so I thought I would share them on here. I will make a section just for recipes on here and update it regularly, but for now I will just post them here.
This is a great casual meal that we make.
I posted this one for you Tawnee :-)
Spicy Chicken Tostadas:
1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
1/4 Cup Minced Red Onion
6 oz. Grilled Chicken Breast
3 Medium Tomatoes Seeded and Diced
1 Garlic Clove Minced
2 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro Chopped
1/2 Teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
4 Cups Mixed Iceberg / Romaine Lettuces Chopped
1/2 Cup Finely Chopped Red Bell Pepper
4 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice (more if you like)
8 Hard Tortillas
1 Cup Refried Beans
1/2 Wheel Queso Fresco Crumbled
1 Cup Fresh Salsa
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 10-inch skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook 3 minutes stirring occasionally. Add chicken, tomatoes, garlic, cilantro and Old Bay seasoning and cook 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture is thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Remove skillet from heat; cover and keep warm.
In a medium bowl toss lettuce, bell pepper, and lemon juice.
Place tortillas on a cookie sheet and heat in oven about 5 minutes or until warm and crisp.
Spread Refried Beans over each Tortilla.
Sprinkle with Lettuce Mixture.
Top with Chicken Mixture.
Sprinkle Crumbled Queso Fresco on top.
Add Salsa to taste.
We have made them a few times and they are yummy. We usually have them with a side of Spanish Rice and Grilled Pineapple (will post this recipe later). Sangria is a great accompaniment.
Enjoy!
