Shredded chicken
Tomato sauce
Cotija cheese
Tapatio (optional for spice)
👩🍳Recipe:
🍗Boil chicken with salt. Once done shredded and put aside.

Boil red tomatoes (I like to add them with the chicken and remove when soft). I used 3 medium tomatoes for the tomato sauce in the video.
While tomatoes are boiling cut some onion julienne style (set in bowl)
Add oregano (~1/2 tbps)
Once tomatoes are done blend with some chicken broth or water
Once blended add to onions and mix.

I like to put oil on a pan and add some diced onion. Once onion is “burt” add beans and mash.

Queso Cotija
Tapatío (opcional para que pique )
👩🍳Receta:
🍗Hervir el pollo con sal. Una vez hecho, desmenuzarlo y reservar.
🍅Salsa de tomate:
Hervir los tomates rojos (me gusta agregarlos con el pollo y retirarlos cuando estén suaves). Usé 3 tomates medianos para la salsa de tomate en el video.
Mientras los tomates hierven, cortar un poco de cebolla en rajas (poner en un tazón). Agregar orégano (~ 1/2 cucharada). Una vez que los tomates estén listos,muele con un poco de caldo de pollo o agua.
Agregar a las cebollas y mezclar.
🫘Frijoles
Me gusta poner aceite en una sartén y agregar un poco de cebolla picada. Una vez que la cebolla esté "quemada", agregar los frijoles y machaca.

Chicken tostadas are a versatile and flavorful Mexican dish that can be enjoyed at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They typically consist of a crispy fried tortilla base topped with a combination of ingredients such as sour cream, refried beans, shredded lettuce, shredded chicken, tomato sauce, cotija cheese, and optional spices like Tapatio hot sauce for added heat. Shredded chicken is the star protein in this dish, which is often boiled with salt for tenderness and then shredded by hand or with forks. The tomato sauce adds a fresh and tangy flavor, commonly made by boiling red tomatoes with onions and oregano, then blending with chicken broth or water to achieve a smooth consistency. This homemade sauce elevates the dish beyond store-bought alternatives. The beans, usually pinto or black beans, are sautéed with diced onions in oil until the onions are lightly caramelized, enhancing the beans’ flavor before mashing them to a creamy texture. This adds richness and depth to the tostada. Adding shredded lettuce provides a refreshing crunch, while sour cream adds creaminess that balances the acidity of the tomato sauce. Cotija cheese, a crumbly Mexican cheese, delivers a salty and tangy note that complements the other ingredients. Optional hot sauce like Tapatio can be added for those who prefer a spicier kick. Chicken tostadas are highly customizable and pair well with side dishes such as Mexican rice, guacamole, or freshly made salsa. They are ideal for quick family meals or casual gatherings due to their simple assembly and vibrant flavors. For those interested in health-conscious variations, baking the tortillas instead of frying reduces fat content without sacrificing crispiness. Using organic or free-range chicken and fresh vegetables enhances nutritional value and taste. Overall, this dish not only offers a nutritious and balanced meal but invites culinary creativity, making it a beloved recipe across many households. Enthusiasts can experiment with different toppings like pickled jalapeños, avocado slices, or fresh cilantro to personalize their chicken tostadas to suit individual preferences.
