Southwestern Chicken Tostada Salad


Who would have thought that you can have a salad on a tostada shell? Well I found this recipe from Pillsbury and it looked really yummy and the good thing about it, it's a unique main meal salad ready in 10 minutes! It sounded too good to be true.


Ingredients:
1 package (9 oz) frozen cooked fajita-seasoned chicken strips

4 Old El Paso tostada shells (can use any other shells too)

4 C. shredded lettuce

1/4 C. quartered pitted ripe olives

1 medium tomato, cut into thin wedges

1/2 C. ranch dressing

2 tbs Old El Paso taco sauce (can use other if you like)

1/2 C. shredded Mexican cheese blend


Directions:

Heat chicken and tostada shells as directed on packages. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, gently toss lettuce, olives and tomato. In a medium bowl, mix ranch dressing and taco sauce. pour dressing mixture over salad; toss gently to coat.

Place warm tostada shells on individual plates. Spoon salad evenly onto shells; top each with warm chicken and sprinkle with cheese.
