Ingredients:
|
| 12 |
(6-in./15-cm) corn tortillas |
| 2 |
cups (500 mL) diced cooked unsalted chicken breasts |
| 1 |
can (14.5 oz or 398 mL) black beans, drained and rinsed |
| 1 |
medium red onion, divided |
| 1 |
cup (250 mL) loosely packed fresh cilantro, divided |
| 1 |
cup (250 mL) shredded Chihuahua cheese or Monterey Jack cheese, divided |
| 1/4 |
cup (50 mL) light mayonnaise |
| 2 |
garlic cloves, pressed |
| 1/4 |
tsp (1 mL) each salt and coarsely ground black pepper |
| 3 |
kiwi, peeled |
| 1 |
jalapeño pepper, stemmed and seeded |
| 1-2 |
limes |
| 2 |
cups (500 mL) diced fresh pineapple |
Directions:
| Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Trim tortillas using Pizza Cutter to make twelve 4-in. (10-cm) squares. Spray both sides of squares with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange squares on Large Bar Pan, overlapping slightly. Bake 8–10 minutes or until squares begin to brown; remove pan from oven. Turn squares over with Mini-Serving Spatula. Return to oven; bake 5–7 minutes or until golden brown and very crisp. Remove pan from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack. |
| Meanwhile, place chicken and beans in Classic Batter Bowl. Coarsely chop onion and cilantro with Food Chopper; add half of the onion and cilantro to batter bowl, reserving remaining for salsa. Add 3/4 cup (175 mL) of the cheese, mayonnaise, garlic pressed with Garlic Press, salt and black pepper; mix well with Small Mix N Scraper®. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 2–3 minutes or until heated through, stirring once halfway through. |
| Remove six of the tortilla squares from pan; arrange remaining squares on pan in two rows. Top evenly with half of the filling. Place reserved squares over filling and top evenly with remaining filling. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup (50 mL) cheese. Bake 4–6 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove pan from oven. |
| Meanwhile, for salsa, finely dice kiwi with Utility Knife; finely chop jalapeño with Food Chopper. Juice limes to measure 2 tbsp (30 mL). In clean batter bowl, combine pineapple, kiwi, jalapeño, lime juice, reserved onion and cilantro. Serve salsa with napoleons.
