Dinner was SO good!  It took about 15 minutes to put this together.  First thing I did was preheat my oven to 350 and popped in 4 white corn tortillas (they took about 5 minutes, then I just turned the oven off and kept them in the oven until I was ready for them).  While those were crisping up for my tostadas, I chopped up my veggies. 

  • 2 white corn tortillas
  • 2 ounce ground sirloin
  • 1 ounce broccoli
  • 1 ounce avocado
  • 1 ounce red pepper
  • 1 ounce lettuce
  • 1 ounce red cabbage, chopped
  • 1/2 ounce pepper jack cheese
  • 1/2 ounce corn tortilla chips
  • 1/4 cup fat free refried beans

Once the corn tortillas were done, I removed to cool slighly.  I took 1/2 ounce of tortilla chips, schmeared (not sure that’s really a word!) about 1/2 teaspoon of refried beans on each chip and divided the broccoli and pepper jack cheese.  I put under the broiler for about 3 minutes.

I was going to use ground chicken breast as the meat, but my grocery store didn’t have it, only ground chicken with the dark meat.  When I compared the ground chicken with the ground sirloin, the only difference was the beef was 10 calories more and 2 grams of fat more – done!
