Chicken Tostadas with Mango Salsa

Happy Cinco de Mayo Week!   I'll be posting Mexican inspired recipes this week that are simple and delicious!


To kick it off, I'm re-posting one of my all time favorites:  Chicken Tostadas with Mango Salsa.   If you choose not to try the Tostadas, you MUST try the mango salsa.  It works great as a topping or alone with tortilla chips.
