Tips & Tricks (5)
- Toast Your Spices First 🔥Lightly toast the cumin and coriander in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the ground chicken to unlock deeper, more complex flavors that elevate the entire dish.
- Balance Sweet and Savory 🍑Chop the dried plums finely and add them near the end of cooking so they retain texture while their natural sweetness perfectly complements the savory picadillo spices and briny olives.
- Crisp Your Tostada Shells Fresh 🥗Assemble the salad just before serving and add warm tostada shells at the last moment to prevent them from becoming soggy and maintain that satisfying crunch throughout.
- Layer Your Cheese Strategically 🧀Warm the Monterey jack cheese slightly by placing it in the hot tostada shell before adding salad components, so it softens and adheres to the shell without melting into clumps.
- Massage and Chill Your Lettuce 🌬️Tear lettuce into bite-sized pieces and refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving to increase crispness and ensure it stays cool against the warm chicken filling.
