This delicious combination of fresh, healthy flavors will fill you up and leave you satisfied for hours, so it’s great for lunch, and also makes a quick and easy weeknight dinner.

Low-Carb Fat-Burning Tostadas (Or Tacos)

Makes: 5-6 servings.

Ingredients:

• 1-lb of cooked diced chicken breast (you can also substitute shrimp for variety)
• 2 medium vidalia onions diced
• 1 large bunch of cilantro finely chopped
• 1 small jar (10 or 12 oz) of salsa
• about 3 ripe avocados
• 1-2 large limes
• about 10-12 round flat tostada shells (avoid any that are fried in soybean oil or hydrogenated oils of any kind… if you can, find some at the health food store that are fried in much healthier coconut oil), organic corn tortillas, or lettuce leaves for lettuce wraps

Directions:

• Mix the diced chicken, diced onion, chopped cilantro, and jar of bean and corn salsa all together in a large bowl.
• Spoon out some of the mixture from the bowl onto each of the tostadas or tortillas, and then top with some diced avocado (I use about 1/4 to 1/2 of an avocado for each tostada).
• Then slice off a couple of fresh lime wedges and squeeze the fresh lime juice on top of each tostada.
• Enjoy!
