Steps:

  • To make the tortillas: Pour the oil for frying into a large heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 375 degrees F.

Tips:

  • Use ripe kiwis: To get the best flavor and sweetness from the kiwis, make sure they are ripe. Ripe kiwis will have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
  • Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts: This will make it easier to shred the chicken and assemble the tostadas.
  • Use a food processor to shred the chicken: This is the quickest and easiest way to get shredded chicken. You can also use two forks to shred the chicken, but it will take a little longer.
  • Make the kiwi salsa ahead of time: The salsa can be made up to 2 days in advance, so you can save time on the day you're serving the tostadas.
  • Use your favorite toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include shredded cabbage, black beans, corn, avocado, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Kiwi chicken tostadas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet kiwi salsa and savory chicken is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give kiwi chicken tostadas a try!
