Chicken and Summer Vegetable Tostadas

This recipe for tostadas is from Cooking Light via Jen...thanks! It was so delicious!

This was a great meal for kids because I served it to them in separate components. Chicken, tortilla, zucchini, corn, cheese...they could put it together how they liked. Great for my picky eater.

Also, the tortillas were really good crisped under the broiler like this. It makes me never want to buy those "Old El Paso" taco shells again.

My variations: I used regular onion instead of red onion. I didn't sprinkle cilantro on top...not my favorite flavor. I used Mexican-blend shredded cheese instead of Monterrey Jack. I used frozen corn instead of fresh.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 12 ounces chicken breast tenders
• 1 cup chopped red onion (about 1)
• 1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears)
• 1 cup chopped zucchini (about 4 ounces)
• 1/2 cup green salsa
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
• 4 (8-inch) fat-free flour tortillas
• Cooking spray
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Preparation

Preheat broiler.

Combine first 3 ingredients, stirring well. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over chicken. Add chicken to pan; sauté for 3 minutes. Add onion, corn, and zucchini to pan; sauté for 2 minutes or until chicken is done. Stir in salsa and 2 tablespoons cilantro. Cook 2 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates, stirring frequently.

Working with 2 tortillas at a time, arrange tortillas in a single layer on a baking sheet; lightly coat tortillas with cooking spray. Broil 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Spoon about 3/4 cup chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla; sprinkle each serving with 1/4 cup cheese. Broil an additional 2 minutes or until cheese melts. Repeat procedure with remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheese. Sprinkle each serving with about 3/4 teaspoon of remaining cilantro. Serve immediately.
