This easy chicken salad includes diced jalapenos, which make it spicy and delicious. You can eat it with crackers, but it tastes much better with tostadas.

Ingredients

vegetable oil for frying
10 corn tortillas
1 (10 ounce) can chunk chicken, drained and flaked
½ cup mayonnaise
2 ½ tablespoons canned jalapeno pepper slices, undrained
1 tablespoon pickled jalapeno pepper juice
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. One at a time, slip a tortilla into the hot oil. If the tortilla starts to puff up, press it down with a fork. When crisp and brown, remove to paper towels. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Place the chicken in a bowl, and separate with a fork. Stir in the mayonnaise. Dice the jalapenos (reserving the liquid), and stir them into chicken salad. Pour in 1 tablespoon jalapeno juice, season with salt and pepper, and stir well. To serve, spread the chicken salad on the tostadas.
