Chicken Tostada Salad- W.S. Food Made Fast Weeknight Meals

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

· 2 cups of rotisserie or other cooked chicken, shredded

· Lime zest and juice from 2 limes

· I clove garlic, minced

· Salt and pepper

· 2/3 c. olive oil

· 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

· 2 cups of corn, fresh is best… others will do

· 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced (or one can diced tomatoes)

· 4 canned green chilies, diced

· 1 head Romaine lettuce, cut into bite sized pieces

· 4 corn tostadas

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together the lime zest and juice, and garlic with ½ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the oil. Transfer 3 tbsp. of the vinaigrette to a large bowl and add the beans, corn, tomatoes, and chilies; mix gently. Reserve the remaining vinaigrette. Let the salsa stand for at least 10 minutes, or until the flavors have blended.

Add the lettuce to the reserved vinaigrette and toss to coat. Divide the tostadas and lettuce among 4 plates. Spoon the salsa over the lettuce, top with the chicken and serve.
