The ginger adds a pleasant zing to this twist on a traditional tostada. It's so easy to eat healthful foods when good fresh salsa is around. -Erin Renouf Mylroie of St. George, Utah

Chicken Tostadas with Mango Salsa Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + marinating Cook: 20 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

30 20 50

Ingredients

1/3 cup orange juice
5 tablespoons lime juice, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 medium mangoes, peeled and diced
1 small red onion, chopped
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
1 serrano pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 corn tortillas (6 inches)
3 cups coleslaw mix
6 tablespoons fat-free sour cream

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the orange juice, 3 tablespoons lime juice, garlic powder and cumin; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
For salsa, in a small bowl, combine the mangoes, onion, cilantro, serrano pepper, ginger, brown sugar, salt and remaining lime juice. Cover and chill until serving.
Drain and discard marinade. Place chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Cut into thin strips.
In a nonstick skillet, cook tortillas over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Top each with coleslaw mix, chicken, mango salsa and sour cream. Yield: 6 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Really tasty! I would recommend basting the chicken every once in a while, and the longer the salsa sits, the better the flavors gel. I used small corn tortillas, which added some more heart and nutrition to the mix. I also had cabbage on hand that I needed to use up, so substituted that for the cole slaw mix--perfectly fine!

Something about the mango and cilantro together....this was delicious.

My daughters and I loved it! The mango salsa adds the right amount of sweetness and the cabbage the right amount of crunchiness. I did leave out the pepper and used ground ginger and it still turned out super.
