Ingredients

  • 10 ounces cooked chicken (about 2 cups once is shredded) (I use rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ medium white or yellow onion sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce chopped
  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder (use 1 for more spicy)
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 6 Tostadas for serving
Toppings
  • Shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and avocados
  • crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese
  • Fresh lime wedges and hot sauce.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Shred the chicken and set aside.
  2. In a small cup add the chipotles, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, chili powder. Mix to combine and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, add heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute until it starts to become translucent.
  4. Add the chicken and chipotle sauce and stir to combine. Cover pot and simmer over medium-low heat for about 8 minutes, or until sauce is syrupy. Make sure to stir often to prevent the bottom from burning and sticking.
  5. Meanwhile, reheat the refried beans and keep them warm until ready to assemble the tostadas.
  6. Top each tostada with a thin layer of refried beans, then ¼ cup of the chicken mixture.
  7. Garnish each tostada with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and avocados. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and your favorite hot sauce.
