Oregon Ducks Tostadas


To celebrate the kick off of the Duck's Football season, I decided to make a family favorite for dinner!

Ingredients:

Tostada shells
1 rotisserie chicken
shredded lettuce
one small onion
1 can re-fried beans
1 package queso fresco
4 tomatillos
1 jalapeno
3 cloves of garlic
salt & pepper
half a bushel of cilantro
sour cream



Method:

Take the chicken and pull the meat apart into bite sized pieces, making shredded chicken. Set aside. Open the can of beans and heat it up in a pot on the stove. Crumble the queso fresco cheese. Chop the cilantro up and then put it in the food processor. Peel the tomatillos and wash them. (They will feel sticky before you wash them.) Chop them up and add them to the food processor. Chop the onion in half and the jalapeno. Add them to the processor. Crush the garlic cloves and add them along with the salt & pepper to the processor. Turn the processor on and blend until it well. Drain the sauce a bit through a mesh strainer. Now you can start building your tostada! Layer it with the beans, chicken, cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and green salsa sauce. Dig in!




Nully's Tips:
When you bake, you want to get as close to the right measurments as possible. When you cook, you can guesstimate. If you add too much or too little of something in baking, it could ruin the whole thing. Not so with cooking!




The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. ~Proverbs 28:1~
