Cooking with your partner: Chicken Tostadas

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

On a previous post I shared a great recipe for you to try and cook with your partner. Before it was a dinner and a movie type of at home date, but this time, we’re going to kick it up a notch and have you add some real spice to your meal! We’ll be making: Chicken Tostadas.

I’m a huge fan of assembling meals, when you have the help! It makes it so much fun. The plus of making Chicken Tostadas if they’re fairly inexpensive and quite easy to make.

So grab your partner and some aprons!

  • I recommend playing some fun Latin music in the background to liven up the mood.
  • I also recommend to open a nice bottle of your favorite wine to enjoy while cooking.

Ingredients:

  • Refried beans (1 small can)
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, sliced thin
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 1-2 chopped peeled and pitted avacados or guacamole
  • 8 ounces grated Monterrey Jack, Cheddar, or crumbled queso fresco and/or cotija cheese
  • 1 cup of  Salsa 
  • 2 chicken breasts (you may also substitute with steak)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon of Oregano
  • Herbed Poultry mix of any kind (or steak seasoning, if using steak)
  • Tostadas (about 2-4, 1-2 for each)
  • Directions:

    1. On a plate coat chicken with salt,pepper, oregano and herbed poultry mix.
    2. In a hot pan or grill, add some olive oil and place the chicken breasts down to cook.
    3. Cook chicken on medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side or until cooked thouroughly.
    4. While chicken is cooking, you and your partner should get all ingredients together, chopping up lettuce, tomatoes, avacados and grating the cheese and place in seperate bowls.
    5. Once the chicken is cooked, slice the chicken breast and place in bowl.
    6. Heat up refried beans in different pan.
    7. Once beans are cooked, assemble your own tostadas: spread each tostada with beans, then some chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, avacados, cheese and salsa.
    8. Enjoy with a bottle of wine and don’t forget to salsa afterwards!
