Marisas Spicy Chicken Tostadas
- 1 whole Chicken, Or Substitute Shredded Rotisserie Chicken
- 2 whole Onions, Divided
- 2 cloves Garlic, Divided
- 8 whole Medium Ripe Tomatoes
- 1 jar Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce (12 Oz)
- Salt To Taste
- 1 Tablespoon Oil
- 20 whole Store-bought Tostada Shells
- Your Desired Toppings (Queso, Crema, Salsa, Lettuce, Etc.)
- Boil the whole chicken with 1 coarsely chopped onion and 1 clove chopped garlic.
- Cover the chicken with water and allow to boil 30 minutes to 1 hour, turning the chicken over a few times in between.
- You will know the chicken is done when the skin and meat simply fall off and the legs break apart easily.
- When cooked through, remove the chicken from the water, shred chicken and set aside.
- (Alternatively, you can use shredded rotisserie chicken meat and skip the boiling step.
- If that is the case, youll need only 1 onion and 1 clove of garlic for the sauce later on.)
- Wash the whole tomatoes and place them in a pan on the stove (no water, no oil).
- Heat them until the skins get roasted and the insides are soft, turning them frequently.
- Put tomatoes, chipotle peppers, and the remaining 1 clove garlic in the blender.
- Salt to taste and add a little bit of water.
- Puree until smooth or to the consistency that you like.
- Cut the remaining onion into large chunks or long, skinny strips.
- Saute the onion over medium heat in a large pan with a little oil saute until translucent.
- Add the tomato mixture and bring to a boil.
- Add shredded chicken and heat through.
- Top the tostada shells with the chicken mixture and then add queso, crema, salsa, and lettuce.
