Tinga


Adapted from Taste of Home

These are delicious and if you get the chicken going in the crock pot the morning of, super easy.  

Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (I cooked mine in a the crock pot)
  • 1-3 tsp. chipotle chile pepper (depending on how spicy you want it. I used 1 1/2 tsp)
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz. each) petite diced tomatoes (I only used 1)
  • 1 small onion quartered and thinly sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • sour cream or plain greek yogurt (we prefer plain Greek yogurt these days)
  • shredded cheese
  • refried beans
  • avocado, sliced
  • lettuce
  • 10 tostada shells

Directions

  • Pour a little olive oil in skillet and saute onion and garlic for a few minutes until fragrant
  • Add in chicken, tomatoes, and chipotle chile pepper. Cook over medium-high heat for 10 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
  • To serve, spread each tostada with a thin layer of refried beans and sour cream/plain yogurt. Top each tostada with chicken mixture, lettuce, cheese, avocado.
