Citrus Salad in Tortilla Cups

Ingredients
- 6 flour tortillas
Directions for Tortilla Cups: Brush each side of the tortilla very lightly with water or some melted butter and gently push down into a small greased bowl or large custard cup to create the tortilla cup. Cook at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until browned. Allow to cool before removing from the bowl.*
Ingredients for the salad:
- 1 medium Texas RED grapefruit, sectioned
- 1 large Texas orange, sectioned, saving juice
- 2 avocados, peeled and chopped
- 1 prepared boneless chicken breast, chopped in small pieces
- 1 package prepared romaine lettuce
Directions for the salad: Combine the grapefruit, orange, avocado and chicken breast together. Toss with the dressing (recipe follows.) Into the bottom of the tortilla cups, tear the romaine leaves into smaller pieces. Scoop the citrus salad and place on top of the lettuce, evenly dividing the salad among the cups. Serve immediately.
Ingredients for the dressing:
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1-1/2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
- 1-1/2 teaspoons mined fresh mint
Combine all the ingredients.
