Ingredients
2 chicken poached chicken breasts
3 tablespoons curry powder
2 tablespoons turmeric
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons pine nuts
2 Corn Tortillas
2 scallions
Unsweetened Dried Cranberries
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut the tortillas into strips and place on a baking sheet with the pine nuts. Roast for 8-10 minutes until nuts just start to brown.
Shred the chicken breasts - set aside
In a medium bowl mix the mayonnaise, curry powder, turmeric and red curry paste. Adjust for taste. The Thai curry paste is a bit salty so be careful with the salt.
