Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 chicken breasts (bone in)
1 carrot, cut up in 1 inch pieces
1 celery, cut up in 1 inch pieces
1/2 onion (cut in half )
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 (15 ounce) can mixed vegetables
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
salt
pepper
garlic salt
pickled jalapeno pepper, chopped (optional)
avocado, chopped
tapatio hot sauce
tostadas

Steps:

  • Place first five ingredients in a pot of boiling water and reduce heat. Cook over medium heat, covered, about 45 minutes or until the chicken is very tender.
  • When the chicken is tender, remove from bone and shred.
  • Add remaining ingredients and incorporate well. Place chicken salad on store-bought tostadas or fry your own tortillas in some vegetable oil. Top with Tapatío Hot Sauce to taste. Delicious!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your tostadas taste their best. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and juicy chicken.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, or the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make your own dressing. A simple vinaigrette or ranch dressing is a great way to add flavor to your tostadas. You can also use a store-bought dressing, but be sure to choose one that is not too thick or heavy.
  • Assemble the tostadas just before serving. This will help prevent the tostadas from getting soggy.
  • Get creative with your toppings. In addition to the traditional toppings, you can also add your favorite vegetables, fruits, or cheeses to your tostadas.

Conclusion:

Chicken salad tostadas are a delicious, easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple tips, you can make chicken salad tostadas that are sure to impress your family and friends.
