Day 11. Favorite recipe

This post is particularly hard because I don't know how to choose just one recipe to share. Especially because we have recently been trying out loads of new recipes. A good portion of the new recipes we've been trying have come from Pinterest! And almost all of them have been really good. If I have to choose just one though, I guess I'll have to go with this recipe that is something of a favorite for several people who I've made it for at this point. It's quick and easy to make up, and so good!

Chicken Tostadas with Avacado Dressing

 

Chicken Tostadas and Avocado Dressing Recipe

Avacado Dressing:

2 tablespoons chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (of less if you are sensitive to spicey foods!)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 ripe peeled avocado

Combine all of these ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth

Chicken:

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeño pepper, minced (and seeded - again if you are sensitive to spicey foods)
2 cups shredded chicken (I used canned chicken
olive oil for cooking

Add oil to pan. Add garlic and jalapeño, sauté  over medium-high heat 1 1/2 minutes.
Add chicken, cook 2 minutes

Tostadas:

6-8 tortillas
oil for frying

Over medium-high heat, fry each side of tortilla until nice and crispy. I use the raw tortillas
from Costco that are just amazing - so much better than the normal store bought ones.

Assembly:

Top tortillas with sauce, chicken, and anything else you normally would
want on this sort of thing: lettuce, tomatos, cheese, etc.

And enjoy because these are amazing!
