The story behind

Chicken tinga tostadas are a staple of family gatherings. I love the contrast between the crunchy tortilla and the juicy chicken with that essential touch of chipotle, just as seen in this presentation on clayware that highlights its roots. The fresh avocado and cream provide the perfect balance to the heat of the chili.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Blend the boiled tomatoes with the chipotle peppers and a little water or chicken broth until smooth.
  2. 2
    In a large skillet with a bit of oil, sauté the sliced onions until translucent and lightly browned.
  3. 3
    Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix well with the onions.
  4. 4
    Pour the tomato and chipotle sauce over the chicken. Season with salt and simmer over medium heat until the liquid reduces and the tinga is thick.
  5. 5
    To assemble, place a generous portion of tinga on each tostada.
  6. 6
    Garnish with a drizzle of fresh cream, crumbled cheese, and an avocado slice on top.
  7. 7
    Serve immediately on a clay plate to maintain the traditional and professional style of the image.
