🇲🇽 Mexico recipe
Tostadas de Tinga
Tostadas de Tinga are a quintessential Mexican antojito featuring crispy fried corn tortillas topped with tinga de pollo -- shredded chicken braised in a smoky, savory sauce of tomatoes, chipotle chiles in adobo, and caramelized onions. The tinga filling originated in Puebla and gets its distinctive character from the chipotles, which add a complex smokiness and gentle heat that permeates every strand of shredded chicken. Piled onto golden tostadas and topped with cool avocado, tangy crema, and salty queso fresco, these are the perfect balance of textures and temperatures.
