A few weekends ago, we posted about this wonderful chicken that we roasted. Pollo Asado.
The seasoning we use is achiote paste/powder and that's what gives it this red color. We cooked them and ate some for dinner but still had a few left over.
Later that evening, I took the meat off the bones and torn it into pieces and saved it for the next night.
I added some of 2nd Man's homemade Pico de gallo and mixed it together.
Then I added 2 cups of shredded cheese blend (this was a "Mexican" blend) and mixed it all up.
All that was left to do was scoop it out and mound it onto some tostada shells. We usually have just enough for six tostadas. We usually eat two each and then have an extra for lunch the next day.
Since everything is fully cooked, it's really just getting some color on it. We put it in the middle rack but turn on the broiler. It takes less than 10 minutes. Just until it gets the desired color and the cheese is melted and wonderfully gooey.
Here it is plated up. It's SO good and now 2nd Man asks me to make it again whenever we have any leftover chicken.
It's in regular rotation. Super easy and tasty!
Looking Mighty Good
ReplyDeleteIt was, ha. Thanks!
DeleteI am now having a great big hunger attack. Looks delish.
ReplyDeleteThank you,, heck I'm looking back at it as I type this and it's making me hungry, ha.
DeleteLooks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThank goodness, it's almost my supper time and those little tostadas look so yummy! I won't be having anything even close to that, but they do look delish!
ReplyDeleteWell we hope your dinner was just as delish!
DeleteThose looked good. I could make them without any heat in the mix.
ReplyDeleteOh of course, super easy, to omit the peppers.
DeleteWhat a delicious, creative way to use some leftovers! And it looks so appetizing on the plate.
ReplyDeleteThank you, and yes it did photograph well, ha.
DeleteWhat a great idea. That looks so good! I'm not sure if I've ever seen tostado shells around here, so can I use corn tortillas instead?
ReplyDeleteHmm, we may take for granted what all they have here as opposed to other parts of the country. In stores here, they are usually sold in the bread section with the flour tortillas and corn tortillas and burrito wrap type stuff. These are a store brand but we used to get a nationwide brand whose name escapes me at the moment. But yes, these tostada shells are just corn tortillas that are already fried and ready to go. Sort of like buying a bag of tortilla chips. Just fry them up, drain well and use corn tortillas. :-)
DeleteMmmmmm. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Thank you, as always!!
