Chicken tostada

The recipe I am having trouble finding was in an issue of Woman's World magazine sometime in March-April 2006.

The chicken was supposed to be marinated in balsamic vinegar, lime juice, and other assorted spices. There was salsa and avocados to be put on the tostada. I cannot remember the details though.

If anyone has any idea as to what I am describing, please help me out! Thanks in advance.
