Recipe: Chicken Tostada

Cinco de Mayo has passed but you still have limes, salsa, refried beans, flour tortillas and sour cream in the refrigerator. What to do?

Here's a simple recipe for Chicken Tostadas that I learned when I first moved into the big city.
A grill pan would be handy to grill the chicken (or you can use a George Forman Grill) but a skillet will do just nicely.


Ingredients

2 chicken breasts
2 flour tortillas
1 can refried beans

For Marinade:
Juice of two limes
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon oregano
pinch of chili powder

For Dressing:
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup sour cream

1. Whisk together marinade ingredients in a medium bowl.
   
2. In a smaller bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients.
   
3. Between 2 pieces of wax paper, pound the chicken breasts thin and marinate for 15 minutes in the marinade.
   
4. Lightly fry the flour tortillas in a little oil and drain on paper towels.
   
5. Heat up the beans as per direction on can.
   
6. Remoce chicken from marinade. Grill chicken breasts until done and slice in to strips.
   
7. Serve the chicken on a bed of refried beans on the tortilla. Top with a little of the dressing. Serves 2.
