When you've got a backyard filled with fruits and veggies, you have to get creative! I saw flourishing cilantro and a perfect zucchini...so...TOSTADAS! This recipe turned out to be a huge hit with my family. Fresh, healthy, and delicious. Oh. And all of the ingredients are from Trader Joe's (except of course the homegrown zucchini and cilantro).
The Recipe:
How to Make It
Preheat the broiler. Combine the first 3 ingredients. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the spice over the chicken. Add chicken to pan; sauté for 3 minutes. Add onion, corn, and zucchini to pan; sauté for 2 minutes or until chicken is done. Stir in salsa and 2 tbs cilantro. Cook 2 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates, stirring frequently.
Arrange tortillas on baking sheet and coat in cooking spray. Broil 2 minutes. Spoon 3/4 cup chicken mixture in center of each tortilla, and sprinkle with cheese. Broil an additional 2 minutes. Repeat procedure with each tortilla. Then sprinkle each serving with 3/4 tsp of cilantro.
And there you have it! A yummy dinner for four!
This tostada was certainly a success. I will absolutely be making this meal again, and hopefully with more homegrown zucchinis and cilantro. My sister even went so far as to say she'd purchase it at a restaurant! It was packed full of flavor. But what really made the difference? The salsa verde. This salsa is available at Trader Joe's and really completes the whole meal.
For a spin on this recipe, fill corn tortillas with the chicken and veggie mix for a small taco! Add bell peppers and it becomes fajita.
Happy Summer!
