INGREDIENTS:
For chicken:
- 4-5 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- Ground cumin
- Trader Joe's chili lime seasoning (if you don't have this you can skip)
- Red salsa
- Green salsa
- Premade tostada shells (found in the Spanish aisle of the grocery store)
For guac: (optional)
- 3 avocados
- 1/2 tomato, diced
- 1 jalapeño, diced
- 1 handful cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 small white onion, chopped
- Juice of 1-2 limes
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- Salt/pepper
For crema:
- 1 cup plain non-fat greek yogurt
- Juice of 1 lime
- Small handful cilantro
- Salt/pepper
Toppings:
You can top these with anything you'd like!! I used shredded lettuce, left over pieces of tomato, cilantro & crumbled queso fresco.
NOTE*** If you want to skip making homemade guac you can easily purchase premade. Or substitute guac as the base layer for refried beans. Also, 1 bunch of cilantro from the store will give you more than enough for this entire recipe.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Spread an even layer of red salsa on the bottom of a crock-pot. Season both sides of chicken breasts with taco seasoning & place into the crock-pot. Sprinkle with cumin, chili lime seasoning (if you have it) & salt. Top with a layer of green salsa over the chicken. Cook on high for 4 hours. Shred and return into the juice.
2. If you're making the guac from scratch, mash 3 avocados in a bowl. Add 1/2 diced tomato, diced jalapeño (take out the seeds for less heat), 1/2 small onion & garlic powder. Add cilantro, lime juice, salt & pepper to your liking, tasting as you go. I used about a handful of cilantro & juice from 1 1/2 limes.
3. To make the crema, combine greek yogurt & lime juice in a small bowl. Again, adding cilantro, salt & pepper to taste. If you want more of a lime flavor, add more lime juice. Same with the cilantro.
4. Assemble your tostadas! I spread an even layer of guac on the bottom, topped it with shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato, crumbled queso fresco & the cilantro & lime crema. Sprinkled with a little extra cilantro.
