CHICKEN TOSTADA SALAD
If I don't have any tostada shells on hand for this speedy salad, I just heat taco shells, break them in half and lay them flat on the plates. It works just as well. Great Southwest flavor! -Edie DeSpain, Logan, Utah

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with 2 teaspoons oil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and crisp, 10 minutes. Divide cheese among tortillas and return to oven. Bake until cheese is bubbling, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add half the red onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add chili powder and garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add chicken and cup water and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is warmed through and water is almost evaporated, 2 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon lime juice and remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, combine lettuce and 1 tablespoon lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat and divide among tortillas. Top each tortilla with chicken mixture, tomato, avocado, remaining onion, and cilantro.

Steps:
- Spray each tortilla lightly one one side only with no-stick cooking spray; cut each tortilla in half then into cross-wise scant-1/2" strips; spread tortilla strips evenly across baking sheet and place into a 400°F oven for 8 minutes (tossing strips after 4 minutes for even baking) until they are a very light golden-brown; remove from oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, combine chicken, beans, broth, garlic, taco seasoning, and cumin in a small saucepan; simmer 10-15 minutes, or until broth is fully absorbed so that the moist chicken mixture is warmed and flavorful; drain away any excess broth if necessary or desired.
- Toss lettuce, onion rings, tomatoes, and jalapeños together; divide lettuce mixture evenly between three serving plates; spread a large spoonful (almost ¾ cup) of chicken mixture across top of each plate of lettuce; add some grated cheese then a handful of baked tortilla strips; garnish each salad with a small dollop of sour cream and salsa as desired.
