My philosophy is simple: I believe what we consume is everything—from the foods we put in our body, to the ideas we feed for our minds, to the connections we have with others. Everything gives you energy, and what you take in determines how your life will be. My goal is to champion a healthy lifestyle that is simple, accessible, and gives your body what it needs to fuel your best life possible.

Ranch Chicken Tostadas
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 0 min
Ingredients:
- 8 tostada shells
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 bag coleslaw mix
- 1 ½ cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- Yogurt ranch dressing (enough to coat coleslaw mix)
- Pico de gallo, for serving
- Shredded cheddar cheese (let your heart decide how much)
- Cilantro for topping
Directions:
Place a small saute pan over medium heat and heat the chicken. Remove from the pan. Add a little bit of olive oil followed by the cannellini beans. Season with salt and pepper and add a little bit of water. Smash the beans to make a chunky “refried bean”. Set aside. In a small bowl, toss coleslaw with yogurt ranch.
To assemble tostadas, place shells on a plate. Spread each shell with refried beans, followed by chicken, ranch coleslaw, shredded cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, and cilantro. Serve with oven fries.
Other Ways To Prepare This Meal:
Plant-based: Omit chicken. Substitute sauteed peppers and onions. Use vegan cheese shreds instead of cheddar. Use vegan ranch instead of yogurt.
Add spice: Top with pickled jalapenos.
Leftover hack: Use leftover ranch coleslaw, chicken, cheese and pico de gallo to make a wrap for lunch the next day.
