Steps:
- 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.

TWISTED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD
I had a similar salad at Red Robin years ago. They took it off their menu, so I had to invent my own! The twist comes from the corkscrew shaped rotini pasta! (Cook time includes time to boil the pasta, but not cook the chicken) This recipe originally called for 2 T of garlic, but when I made it last it was too strong...so it depends on the strength of garlic you have on hand...start small in quantity and work up according to your taste.

"TWISTED" CHICKEN SALAD
Wonderful chicken salad for a hot summer day, but a great taste any time of year. A nice change from the usual. The lemon adds a refreshing taste, along with the cucumber. My family loves this one. I prefer to use chicken breast from a rotissere chicken. Also, for the cucumber we really like the taste of the English or Burpless/seedless cucumber. They are the ones wrapped individually in sealed plastic wrap in the produce dept. beside the regular cucumbers.
