CHIPOTLE CHICKEN TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray both sides of each tortilla with cooking spray; place on a baking sheet.
• Bake tortillas in the preheated oven until crisp and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
• While tortillas are baking, combine tomato, green onions, lime juice, and cilantro in a bowl; set aside.
• Mix cream cheese and chipotle pepper in a separate bowl until well blended. Remove tortillas from the oven. Spread mixture over tortillas; top with chicken and cheese.
• Return tortillas to the oven and continue baking until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Top with the tomato mixture, olives, and sour cream.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN TOSTADAS WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Make the pineapple salsa: in a medium bowl, toss together the pineapple, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, avocado oil and salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 5 days.
• Make the chicken: in a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken, chipotle chili powder, salt and pepper.
• Cook the chicken, breaking up the meat with the back of a spoon until it is brown, about 7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat from the pan, if necessary.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken broth and tomato paste and stir to combine. Continue to cook for about 2 more minutes.
• Remove from heat and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
• To assemble: place the tortillas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of tortillas with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
• Carefully spread the mashed avocado on top of each crisp tortilla. Sprinkle with the shredded cabbage and a big scoop of chipotle chicken. Top with the pineapple salsa and a sprinkle of cilantro.
