Chicken Tostada Salad Recipe
Description
Chicken Tostada Salad Recipe features small tortillas shaped into crispy baked bowls that hold a fresh and filling salad. Ground chicken is seasoned and cooked until golden, then combined with shredded lettuce, fresh diced avocado, tomato, and green onion. Grated cheese adds richness, while sour cream provides a cool, creamy accent to the finished bowls. The tortillas are softened initially to form their shape easily, then baked until crisp and golden. Each tostada bowl stands as a self-contained salad, presenting a satisfying combination of textures.
The salad offers a nice blend of mild acidity from the tomato and richness from avocado, balanced with the savory ground chicken and melted cheese. The crispy tortilla bowl adds a crunchy edible container that makes serving simple and aesthetically pleasing.
This dish works well for a casual lunch or dinner and can be enjoyed immediately to keep tortillas crisp. It pairs well with mild sides or can be a standalone meal providing protein and vegetables.
Ingredients
- 4 tortilla small
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 avocado
- 1/2 cup cheese grated
- 1/2 green onion
- 3 tomato medium
- 2 cups lettuce shredded
- 4 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp black pepper adjust to taste
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Microwave the tortillas for 8 seconds, just so they're soft enough to be malleable. Invert 4 large canning jars on a baking sheet and place a warmed tortilla on top of each one (this will create the "bowl" shape).
- Fold the sides of the tortillas to form the shape of a bowl around the canning jar. Bake the bowls until hard and golden brown (about 3-5 minutes). Pull the baking sheet out of the oven and allow the tortillas to cool at room temperature on the jars.
- Preheat a skillet with olive oil. Place the ground chicken in the skillet and season it with salt and pepper, mixing it occasionally to break up the larger pieces. Cook until the meat turns golden brown.
- Dice the avocado, onion, and tomato. Set them aside.
- Fill up the tortilla bowls with the ground meat, cheese, and lettuce. Top the salads with the tomatoes, onion, and avocado.
- Serve the salads with dollops of sour cream on top for dressing. Enjoy!
