Directions: |
Directions:Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Set aside.
Chop the tomatoes and combine with the chopped celery, red pepper, green onions, corn and olives. Add the salsa, chopped cilantro, lime or lemon juice,and pepper to taste. Toss well to combine.
To make the tortilla shells: Coat each tortilla lightly with the cooking spray or brush with 1/8 teaspoon cooking oil. Drape a tortilla over the bottom of a 3 cup microwave-safe bowl that has been turned upside down. Cook the tortilla on high power for 2 1/2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Shells will harden into bowl shapes and become crispy. Remove from bowl and allow to cool.
Pile 1 cup lettuce into bottom of crispy shell; Top each shell with 1 cup of the vegetable-salsa mixture, and 1/4 cup cooked chicken. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cheese over each shell. Serve chilled. |

Notes: I included all the ingredients--use what you like. I heat 1 can of fat-free refried beans and put that in the salad as well.
