Reviews
Simple weekday meal and great use of leftover chicken.
We really liked this meal (2 adults, 6 yr old and 2 yr old). The family even asked for it a second night in a row. One change we made was to bake the tostadas instead of broil them. The tortillas were crisper and less soggy on the underside. Thanks for a nice spin on a usually Mexican dish!
I really liked this simple change-of-pace. My kids weren't big fans (should have left the slaw off of theirs) and my husband said it was good, but not as good as other recipes I make. It was a nice balance of flavors and textures (probably why my kids didn't like it)!
