Chicken Tostadas

When you're in a hurry for dinner, grab a rotisserie chicken (I prefer the ones from Costco; they're always so meaty and juicy). To stretch your meal even further, try these delicious tostadas. And you may need a napkin to wipe your fingers and face from all the juice.

Ingredients:
1 rotisserie chicken
1 can cream of chicken soup (I prefer Campbell's Healthy Request)
1 can cream of celery soup (I prefer Campbell's Healthy Request)
2 cups fresh salsa or pico de gallo (I use El Sol Foods fresh salsa, available at Costco)
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese
1 large avocado, cut into small cubes
2 dozen tostada shells

Directions:
Remove all meat from chicken, break into bite-size pieces, and place in large bowl. Pour juice from bottom of chicken container in bowl, and discard bones, fat and skin (or save to make a delicious homemade stock later). Add remaining ingredients and stir gently until blended. Spoon onto tostada shells.

*Note: If chicken was hot when pulled off the bone, mixture may be warm. If not, give your plate 30 seconds in the microwave to reheat. Also depending on how high you pile the chicken on your tostada, this recipe may yield a couple less servings.
