Easy Tostadas
I LOVE to cook, but I don't have time to make time consuming meals. The real reason, is I don't like to clean up! I would cook all day if I didn't have to clean up.
The other night I couldn't decide what to make for dinner so I just started boiling chicken but I didn't know what to make with it. I always have fresh vegetables in my house so I knew I had to incorporate those. One of my favorite foods is avocados, but I feel like I have to wait forever for them to ripen. I had about 3 avocados that just were ready to eat and I was so excited to eat them! So what meal can I make with chicken and avocados?? ---TOSTADAS!
While the chicken was cooking, I cut up tomatoes, lettuce, black olives and avocados. After the chicken was cooked, I quickly tossed it in my Ninja blender to shred it. Then I put it back in the same pan (less dishes!) and added lime juice, a little taco seasoning (I'm going to start making my own), black beans, salsa and a little bit of water. I let it simmer together and voila! Instead of sour cream, I use greek yogurt. It tastes pretty much the same, but so much healthier!
I'm not a gourmet cook, by any means. I just love nutritious, easy meals.
