Rotisserie Chicken Tostadas

Need something super easy for dinner? I gotcha  covered!

Ingredients:
8-6 flour or corn tortillas
Avocados, pitted, cut in to chunks. 
1 Tbsp. lime juice (optional)
1.5 tsp salt
1 cup refried beans (fat free if you wish)
Cooked, shredded, boneless rotisserie chicken
1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese (your choice) I used Mexican blend.
Shredded romaine lettuce
Tomatoes or salsa

Preheat oven to 400.
Line baking sheet with al. foil.
Mist both sides of tortilla with cooking spray and place on sheet.
Bake until crisp, about 5 minutes. Or a little longer if your oven isn't a fast cooker.
Toss avocado with lime juice and salt. (Or just salt like I did)
Spread refried beans on tortilla, top with chicken and avocado.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Return to oven for another 4-5 minutes until warmed through.
Top with lettuce and tomatoes/salsa.
Serve and enjoy!!

I'm totally guessing, but probably between 300-400 calories depending on size and ingredients used. 

Also, if you want a more "healthy" version like me...you can use whole wheat tortillas and organic produce and cheese. I have to admit, some of my ingredients tonight are not organic, but I'm running super low on everything. Trader Joe's here I come!

You can also substitute ingredients or add them. Anything from sour cream to jalapenos. 

Baking.

Finished product.

Easy Italian Chicken (Crockpot)

Serves 4 (I cut in half for just Sophie and I)

4 Chicken breasts
1 packet of dry Italian dressing (your choice)
1/3 c. of water
8oz cream cheese (I bought the fat free kind)
1 can cream of chicken

Mix salad dressing and water, pour over chicken breasts in crockpot. Cook on low for 3 hours.
Mix cream cheese (soften in micro for a few seconds) and cream of chicken until blended. Pour over chicken after 3 hours. It should start to have a gravy consistency. Cook chicken 2-3 more hours on low.
Service over rice or noodles.

This recipe is super easy and heats up well.
