Recipe
1. Heat oven to 375 [degrees] F. Grease 2 Tortilla/Taco Shell Molds(*) or medium ovenproof bowls. Press tortilla into each pan, making sure the tortilla follows the shape of the pan. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until golden. Let cool in pans 5 minutes. Carefully remove tortilla shells and cool on wire rack. Repeat with remaining 2 tortillas.
2. Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with Cajun seasoning. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 7 minutes per side, until cooked through.
3. Toss the lettuces, carrots and cabbage in a large bowl. Toss cheeses in another bowl. Fill each tortilla shell with 3 cups packed lettuce mixture, top with 2 tablespoons dressing, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 cup tomatoes and 1 chicken breast, sliced. Pass remaining dressing. Makes 4 servings.
