MEXICAN MEALS FOR WEIGHT LOSS: ENSALADA DE POLLO EN CREMA CHIPOTLE
15 mins prepServes 1
I drew inspiration from one of my favorite recipes, tinga de pollo. This easy, high protein, low carb chicken salad is not only delicious but perfect for the rising temperatures! To save time use a rotisserie chicken or store bought tostadas.
1. Bring water to a boil and add chicken breast, 1 tbsp salt, bay leaves, 1/4 onion, and 2 garlic cloves. Bring down to a simmer and boil for 20-30 minutes depending on size of chicken.
2. Once cooked, shred and put to the side.
3. To a blender add the chipotle salsa (the more the spicier), Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, seasonings to taste, jalapeño mustard, and almond milk. Blend well.
4. To a bowl, add 4 oz chicken, 1.5 c shredded lettuce, and chipotle crema.
5. Air fryer tostadas: Air fry tortillas at 390° F for 4 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 3 minutes. (The tortilla will fly if you don’t put it under the tray or weigh it down with an air fryer safe dish)
6. 1 SERVING: divide the chicken salad amongst 3 air fryer tostadas. Add toppings of choice - I added 28 G queso fresco.
