Grilled Tex-Mex Chicken Sausage Tostadas.

By: Danielle Nagel

Ingredients:

Cooking spray
1 package Casual Gourmet 3 Pepper Tex-Mex Chicken Sausage
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon low-sodium taco seasoning
6 (8-inch) fat-free flour tortillas
2 cups tomatoes, chopped and seeded
3/4 cup sweet onion, diced
1/4 cup ripe olives, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup fat-free refried beans
3 cups lettuce, shredded
1 (8-ounce) jar salsa
1/2 cup (4-ounces) low-fat crumbled feta cheese
6 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup unsalted sunflower kernels, toasted

Directions:

Spray grill with cooking spray and preheat. Brush chicken sausage with lime juice and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Place sausage links on preheated grill rack and grill 5-7 minutes, turning often. Allow sausage to cool slightly then cut on a 1/2-inch bias; set aside. Place tortillas on sprayed grill rack and grill for 30 seconds on each side until crisp and golden brown.
In a medium bowl, toss together tomatoes, onions, olives, cilantro, lime juice and pepper. Spread 3 tablespoons of refried beans over each tortilla and evenly divide chicken sausage between tortillas. Top with 2 tablespoons salsa, 1/2 cup shredded lettuce, 1/2 cup tomato mixture, 2 tablespoons feta cheese and 1 tablespoon sour cream. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and sunflower kernels. Garnish with scallions, fresh limes and cilantro.
