Tostadas are a staple of basic
Mexican Food. Not only are they
delicious, but like many other recipes,
they are not complicated to make
either. Like my mom says, the secret
is in the seasoning, and I agree with
her 100%, because even the most
simple meal can be exquisite when it
is made with love.

ingredients, and this recipe is no
exception. Regardless of what type of
tostada you make – Steak, Chicken,
or Ground Beef – they always will
have similar ingredients – the
difference is in how you prepare the
meat. It’s important to have a good
salsa to accompany it – because a
good salsa can enhance any Mexican
food.
Now, let me correct you if you are
thinking that “la tinga” is one of those
“strange” meats that some people
eat in Mexico (like Menudo, for
example). Trust me, if it was, my
husband would not eat it. He really
isn’t a fan of some of the more exotic
meats, so I have to stick to the basics
with him.
In this case, “Tinga” is the name of
this specific way of preparing the
chicken with various spices, onions,
and salsas. This type of tostada is
very popular in central Mexico and it
is so easy to make! I am sure that you
will love this, so go ahead and try this
different version of the famous
Mexican Tostadas!

This version of the recipe originated in
Puebla state, which is very close to
Mexico City. It is an irresistible dish
that is enjoyed year round, but
especially during the patriotic Mexican
holidays when people are eating other
delicious foods like tacos, flautas, and
tamales to mention a few. It is very
simple to make – all you have to do is
slice a large onion and saute it, then
you mix it with shredded chicken and
a special sauce made with fresh
tomatoes and chipotles in adobo
sauce.

To form the tostadas, you start by
adding some of the chicken mixture
over a fried (or baked) tortillas, and
then top with lettuce, cheese, and
cream. The main difference between
this and other tostadas is that it does
not include beans. The delicious
chipotle flavor makes this meal even
better.
