15-minute Chicken and Vegetable Tostadas

Rushing home from a busy day and tempted to stop for something take-out or drive-thru based? I know the temptation, for sure.

But you’d be surprised at the kind of healthy meals you can make with very few ingredients and just a quick run into the grocery store. I always try to remind myself of this because if I’m eating out at all, I’d rather spend my money eating out at a quality restaurant, rather than grabbing something I’ll regret. Your body will thank you afterwards too.

With the help of a deli chicken, you can whip this meal up at warp-speed and you will have a nice, hot and healthy meal in no time. Sound good?

Ingredients

• 1 deli-rotisserie chicken

• 4 tortillas, any variety will do

• 1 cup salsa (I like the green “verde” style for these and love Frontera brand)

Instructions

1. Shred the chicken. Place the tortillas on a large foil-lined baking sheet.

2. Spread each tortilla with a generous amount of salsa. Top the tortillas with shredded chicken, corn, and chopped vegetables. Top with shredded cheese.
