Healthified Friday's Tostado Nachos

I love LOVE Friday's Tostada Nachos.  A half order of their nachos has about 690 calories.  Here is my take on a healthier version.  It saves around 200 calories.


Ingredients
2 chicken breast halves, cooked and sliced
1 can 16 oz fat free refried beans
1 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese
8 round corn tortilla
1 cup shredded lettuce, optional
1/4 cup sour cream, optional
1/4 cup diced tomatoes, optional
Notes / Directions
1. Season and cook the chicken. I seasoned the chicken with a little cumin.  I par baked it and finished it on the grill pan. 

2.  Cut the chicken in strips.

3.  Cut each corn tortilla in half. A pizza cutter works well.


4. Place the tortillas under the broiler turning when the top side starts to brown.
5. While the tortillas crisp up, heat the refried beans in a pot over medium heat.
6. Stir until beans has been heated through. Remove from heat.
7. Spread each tostada with enough bean to cover all around and place on a baking sheet. About a tablespoon each.  

8. Top with 2 or 3 pieces of chicken.

9. Sprinkle a tablespoon of cheese on each tostada and place under the broiler at 400 degrees for 3 minutes or until cheese has melted.

10. Top with lettuce, tomato, light sour cream (plain greek yogurt) and salsa. (Optional)

Serving Size - 4 tortilla halves
21 Day Fixers - 1.5 Yellow, 1 Red (more if Greek yogurt is used), 1 Blue, 1 Green
