Chicken and Cheese Tostadas

I found this recipe in a food calendar that I received in the mail a few years ago.  This easy to prepare Tex-Mex main dish is easy to adjust according to the number of people that you're feeding.  I served the tostadas with homemade salsa and fresh fruit.



6 flour tortillas
1 pkg. taco seasoning mix, divided
1-lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
½ c water
2 c chopped tomatoes, divided
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
Salsa
Sour cream (*I always use fat-free sour cream!)
Guacamole


Preheat oven to 400°. Place tortillas in single layer on large baking sheet. Spray tortillas with cooking spray; sprinkle with 1 t of the seasoning mix. Bake 7-8 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.

Meanwhile, mix chicken, remaining seasoning mix and the water in large skillet. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally.


Spoon the chicken evenly over tortillas and then top with chopped tomatoes, cheese, salsa, sour cream and guacamole.
