Ingredients

8 servings

1 whole chicken (could sub pulled rotisserie chicken)
1 bottle chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
8 medium tomatoes, very ripe
2 onions
2 cloves garlic
lettuce, queso, crema, and tostadas

Steps

Boil the whole chicken with 1 coarsely chopped onion and 1 clove chopped garlic. When cooked through, shred chicken and set aside.
Wash 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, chipotles, and 1 clove garlic in the blender. Salt to taste and a little bit of water. Puree until smooth or to the consistency that you like.
Cut the other onion into large chunks or long, skinny strips. Saute the onion in a large pan with a little oil until translucent. Add tomato mixture and bring to a boil. Add shredded chicken and heat through.
Assemble tostadas with chicken mixture, queso, crema, salsa, and lettuce. Enjoy!
