This recipe is from my new copy of Martha Stewart's Everyday Food magazine.The picture is on the cover of the April 2008 issue. The recipe is on page 98. My friend Christy had a give-away on her blog at the beginning of the year, and I won the subscription to this! I was so excited to finally get it!
This recipe was seriously so good! I wiill definitely make it again.
Chicken Fajita Tostadas
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 bell peppers ( ribs and seeds removed) thinly sliced
1 box (10 oz.) frozen corn kernels
1 cup prepared fresh salsa
2 Tbls. olive oil
coarse salt and pepper
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
4 corn tortillas (6 inch)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. On foil, combine onions, bell peppers, corn, 1/4 cup salsa, and 1 Tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
2. Roast, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are tender and ightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Add chicken, stir to combine, and continue to roast until warmed through, 5 minutes more. transfer chicken and vegetable mixture to a serving bowl, discarding foil. Reserve sheet.
3. Arrange tortillas on sheet. Dividing evenly, rush with remaining Tablespoon oil; top with cheese. Bake until edges are golden and cheese is melted, 5-8 minutes.
4. Dividing evenly, top tortillas with chicken- vegetable mixture and remaining 3/4 cup salsa.
* I made my own salsa with 2 roma tomatoes, diced up, a little minced garlic, and some chopped cilantro. I seasoned it with salt and pepper, and a splash of lime juice. It was tasty! I also topped my tostadas with a bit of sour cream. This was a bit hard to cut into with a knife, so if you want to eat it with your hands, don't pile it so high. I was also able to get about 6 tostadas instead of the suggested serving size of 4.It was really good. The veggies became almost sweet. I did use shredded chicken from a rotisserie chicken, so that was easy.
This said it was about 472 calories per serving. If you stretch it to 6, it might be a bit different.
Anyway...try it! They are good!
