Ingredients
  

  • 4 Corn Tortilla small
  • Canola Oil
  • 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Agave Nectar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Grapefruit Juice
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • Avocado Sauce
  • Grapefruit Salsa

Instructions
 

  • In a small skillet, add canola oil until about 1 inch deep. Heat oil over medium-high heat.
  • Once the oil is hot and shimmering, fry corn tortillas one at a time, until golden brown, approximately 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Remove to a paper-towel lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Set aside.
  • In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, then brown in the hot skillet for approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir together agave, rice vinegar, soy sauce, grapefruit juice, garlic and red pepper flakes.
  • When the chicken is browned, remove from skillet and add the soy sauce mixture to the pan.
  • Cook over medium heat until thickened, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken back to the skillet and toss.
  • Cook another minute or two, then remove from heat and keep warm.
  • To build your tostadas, divide the glazed chicken evenly among the tostadas.
  • Top with grapefruit salsa and drizzle with avocado sauce.
  • Top with a final sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
