Chicken is the perfect protein for low carb diets and this quick fix for leftovers is a sure winner! Mexican dishes are perennial favorites and this tortilla-less Chicken Tostada is proof!
We've included nutritional information for the basic salad plus options including whole wheat tortillas and without cheese. Carbs are a bit higher from the addition of soy beans (don't substitute regular beans).
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup canned black soy beans, drained
- 4 cups mixed greens, chopped
- 1 Roma tomato, sliced thin
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 4 radishes, sliced thin
- 1/2 avocado, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped & divided
- 1/2 cup queso anejo (Mexican crumbled cheese)
- 4 Tbsp salsa
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin
- 4 whole wheat tortillas (optional)
On a bed of salad, arrange the chicken & soy beans, sprinkle with radishes and green onion. Top with Mexican cheese crumbles, tomato slices & fresh salsa.
Serve & enjoy! We've got lots more delicious low carb recipes in the Kimkins Recipe Box!
