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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a non-stick pan, lightly spray olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Wash and chop the lettuce and tomato.

Step 8

Assemble the chalupas by distributing the chicken and salsa mixture evenly over the crispy tortillas.

Step 9

Top each chalupa with chopped lettuce and tomato.

Step 10

Garnish with dollops of low-fat sour cream and a sprinkle of Cotija cheese.
