Ingredients

– 1 large onion, cut into thin strips

– 2 cooked and shredded chicken breasts

– 5 fresh tomatoes

– 2 garlic cloves

– Chipotle chili in adobo sauce to taste

– 1 tablespoon chicken consommé

– Salt and pepper to taste

– Chopped lettuce for serving

Instructions

1-Start: Start by preheating olive oil in a pan, which sets the stage for building layers of flavor. This method keeps the preparation quick, aligning with our blog’s focus on effortless meals.

2-First: sauté the sliced onion in the preheated olive oil until it turns translucent, which takes just a few minutes. Then, add the shredded chicken and cook for a bit longer to blend the flavors. Next, in a blender, combine 2 garlic cloves, 5 fresh tomatoes, chipotle chili in adobo sauce to your desired heat level, and 1 tablespoon chicken consommé; blend it all until smooth without adding water.

3-Pour: Pour this sauce over the chicken mixture and let it cook for about 20 minutes until most of the liquid evaporates. For the final touch, serve the mixture on tostada tortillas and garnish with chopped lettuce, sour cream, and cheese. Remember to cook the chicken thoroughly before shredding for safety and the best texture.

4-Each step allows for easy adjustments, like controlling the spiciness with the chipotle chili. This recipe’s total preparation time is around 30 minutes, perfect for busy lifestyles.
