Does anyone have a authentic (boy have you all heard this before) recipe
for "Chicken Salad Tostadas?" A wonderful "mexican" chicken salad atop
tostada shells.

I had this at a party and the cook refused to give me the recipe. The BIG
secret was the salad recipe...All I recall was

-chicken, mild in taste, creamy, possibly sour cream, seasonings unknown??
It had a "potato salad" look/consistency with chicken being the potatoe
--salsa/tapatio added the kick
---she used "pre-made" tostada rounds

This is a great summer meal, refreshing!

Thanks for all who help out in advance.

They bought the chicken from the Deli and acted like
they prepared it themselves. The sauce is available
commercially and many Deli's take advantage of it.
It had a strong celery and garlic taste Nest'ce Pas?

In Chiapas this salad is very common.

It is prepared with diced breast chicken, peas, potato and carrots in
cubes and the dressing is a mix of mayo and sour cream and a bit of
mustard. Mustard gives a nice taste to the dressing. Salt and pepper
of course. Some people don't like the strong taste of the fresh
celery so I add a little bit of celery in powder, just to give a
touch.

To decorate you can add avocado and tomato.

I hope it helps you.
