Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

In a pot, place the chicken breasts and cover with water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 20 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the chicken, let it cool, and shred it into bite-sized pieces.

2

Make the Tinga Sauce

In a blender, combine the tinga sauce ingredients (smoked paprika, chipotle peppers, onion, garlic, and tomato). Blend until smooth. Heat in a pan over medium heat for 5 minutes.

3

Combine Chicken with Sauce

Add the shredded chicken to the tinga sauce in the pan. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

4

Prepare Tostadas

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the tostadas by spreading a layer of refried beans on each tostada. Set aside.

5

Assemble the Tostadas

On each tostada with refried beans, add a generous portion of the chicken tinga mixture. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sour cream.

6

Garnish and Serve

Finish each tostada with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately.
