Kimkins Spicy Chicken Tostada Salad

Posted by in Untagged 


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)
Mix chicken, soy beans, cilantro & spices together in a large bowl. If using tortillas, spray both sides with nonstick cooking spray and heat in nonstick skillet until crispy on each side.

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!
