chicken tostadas with mango salsa.

1/3 cup orange juice
5 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 medium mangos, peeled and diced
1 small red onion, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 serrano peppers, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tortillas
3 cups coleslaw mix
sour cream

in a large resealable plastic bag, combine orange juice, 3 tablespoons lime juice, garlic powder and cumin; add chicken.  seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

for salsa, in small bowl combine mango, onion, cilantro, peppers, brown sugar, salt and remaining lime juice.  cover and chill until serving. 

drain and discard marinade.  place chicken on a broiler pan coated with nonstick cooking spray.  broil 4-6 inches from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.  cut into thin strips.

in a skillet, cook tortillas over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned.  top each with coleslaw mix, chicken, mango salsa and sour cream.

andy said it woke up his taste buds, enough said?  very light.  very refreshing.  would be a fabulous summer dish but was just as good this snowy evening.

I have decided this will be the first thing I cook in the new house! (and Kevin will pretend to be shocked that it's a Mel Bauer recipe! ;))
