Weekly Recipe: Duck Tostadas

Here's something different. This isn't personally tested, but it caught my eye as something out of the ordinary. You could substitute boneless chicken thighs if you can't find duck.

Duck Tostadas
Serves 4
5 Points value

1 pound boneless duck breast (skin on)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
4 (6 inch) fat-free flour tortillas
4 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
1 apple, cored and sliced into thin wedges
1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Make about 4 diagonal slashes 1/4 inch deep in skin of duck breast. Sprinkle the duck with the salt and pepper. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the duck and cook until cooked through, 4-5 minutes on each side. Place the duck on paper towels and let stand about 5 minutes. Remove the skin, then thinly slice the duck across the grain.

Meanwhile, cook the tortillas, one at a time, in a medium nonstick skillet, over high heat until crisped, about 40 seconds on each side. On each tortilla, spread 1 tsp mustard and sprinkle 2 Tbsp cheese. Evenly arrange the duck slices and apple wedges alternately in a circular pattern over the tortillas; sprinkle with the cilantro.
