Ground Chicken Tostada

I could seriously eat this 4 nights a week...Being able to make your own healthy tostada bowl is really fun and makes you feel like your eating out at a restaurant.
 
Ingredients:
Trader Joes Flour tortillas
1 pound ground chicken
1 packet Trader Joes taco seasoning
1/2 head shredded ice burg lettuce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup dice yellow onions
6 diced green onions
1/2 bunch chopped cilantro
Sliced black olive 
1 avocado
Lite sour cream
Lime wedges
 
Preparation:
First prepare the tostada bowls. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. I've used a lot of different tortilla's
and highly recommend Trader Joes. They're healthy, meaning no trans fat and taste great.
 
Place the tortilla's into the metal mold and bake at 400 degrees for 6 - 7 minutes. At this point, the tostada bowls are almost finished. Take the tostada bowls out of the oven and turn off the oven. 
 
Remove the tostada bowls from the metal mold and place them back into the oven directly on the wire rack and cook for another 10 minutes. At this point you will have a wonderful crispy crunchy tostada bowl.
 
Next prepare the taco meat, in this case ground chicken. Add the ground chicken to a 12" sauté pan and cook the meat breaking up into small pieces. Add the Trader Joes taco seasoning mix and cook until done, about 10 minutes.
 
Shred the lettuce and set a side. Dice the tomato, yellow inion, green onion, cilantro, black olives and avocado and set a side.
 
To serve, place your tostada bowl on a plate. Add some shredded lettuce to the bowl. Next, add the ground chicken taco meat. Next, add a tablespoon of the diced the tomato, yellow onion, green onion, cilantro, black olives and shredded cheddar cheese. Top with diced avocado and sour cream. Squeeze on a little lime and your ready for an awesome meal.
