Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
- 2 pieces Skinless chicken breast
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Green salsa
- 2 cups Lettuce
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 cup Low-fat sour cream
- 0.5 cup Cotija cheese
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray both sides of the whole wheat tortillas with olive oil spray. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes or until they become crisp and lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
In a pot, bring water to boil and add a pinch of salt. Poach the skinless chicken breasts for about 15 minutes or until cooked through. Let them cool slightly, then shred using two forks.
Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.
In a non-stick pan, lightly spray olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken to the pan with the sautéed onion and garlic. Pour the green salsa over the chicken and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes on medium heat. Season with salt and black pepper.
Wash and chop the lettuce and tomato.
Assemble the chalupas by distributing the chicken and salsa mixture evenly over the crispy tortillas.
Top each chalupa with chopped lettuce and tomato.
Garnish with dollops of low-fat sour cream and a sprinkle of Cotija cheese.
Finish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for added freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat authentic Mexican chalupas!
