Paleo Green Chili Chicken Tostadas

Trina

I wish I could describe how wonderful these Paleo chicken tostadas are. I guess you’ll just have to try them and see for yourself…

I was looking for a good tortilla recipe and stumbled across Joshua Weissman’s SlimPalate.com blog. He had a gluten-free cauliflower tortilla recipe I just had to try. I admit, I was a little skeptical at first about cauliflower (never been a big fan of the veggie) but I went for it anyway. Glad I did…the results were surprisingly good! I made them exactly as directed in the recipe, except I added a few tablespoons of my green chili sauce to the cauliflower mixture for some extra flavor and then hoped they would hold up in the baking. They did! You should try this little trick out and add your own favorite flavors to the tortilla. I’m sure it will be great!

The tortillas are a little small for a taco unless you’re making a street taco. But for a tostada with ingredients piled high, they were the perfect size! [av_sidebar widget_area=’Lockerdome’ av_uid=’av-26rppk’]

I really wanted to use pork, but I happened to have some shredded chicken on hand, so that’s what I used instead. Delish!

You will find my recipe includes a green chili sauce and a avocado sauce. You can use them separately, or mix the two together like I did for the topping…the two combined are a little bit of heaven!

This recipe does take some extra time to prepare, but I think you’ll love the results. If you try it, please let me know what you think.

Enjoy!
