For to a greater extent than or less reason, the hubby together with I decided we'd convey these for dinner later on the kids went to bed--a random, middle of the calendar week appointment night. It worked out good to mix upward the slaw together with tomatoes/olives spell the chicken was on the grill, therefore 1 time the chicken was cooked through together with the tortillas were crisped, all nosotros had to create was assemble.

We both REALLY liked these. And they were therefore filling. I was a lilliputian skeptical almost the slaw mixture, but it worked groovy together with was super tasty. I don't know if my kids would similar these or not, but simply because the concluding few times we've had tostadas, they haven't been real happy amongst it. These are something I would definitely brand again...a groovy quick, healthy, lite summertime dinner!
