Grilled Chicken Tostadas


This marinade comes from the Family Fun magazine and is for Chicken tostadas! We love the marinade for any barbequed chicken!

Marinade:
1/2 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup oil

1 tbsp honey

2 tsp minced garlic

1 1/2 tsp chili powder

Tostadas:

2-4 chicken breasts or 6 chicken thighs
8 small corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded monterey Jack
1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
Optional toppings:
salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, green onions
___________________
Place the chicken in a gallon-size zip-lock bag and add all the marinade ingredients. Press the air out of the bag and seal it. Turn the bag to thoroughly coat the chicken, place it in a bowl, and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight), turning the bag occasionally. Remove the meat from the refrigerator 20 minutes before you want to start grilling. Grill chicken until no longer pink!
Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with vegetable oil. Grill them on each side until they turn slightly brown, about 1 minute on a gas grill. Before removing the tortillas from the grill, sprinkle each one with 1 tablespoon of cheese. To serve, layer the tortillas with shredded lettuce, the chicken strips, the remaining cheese, and any additional toppings. Serves 6 to 8.
