Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat a skillet up on high heat until a drop of water sizzles on contact.
  2. Add tomatoes and roasts, turning several times, until blackened on all sides. (This can also be accomplished in the oven.).
  3. Remove tomatoes and let sit until cool to touch. Cut into chunks and remove seeds if desired. Add to a blender with the chilies in adobo sauce, chicken stock, cumin and nutmeg. Blend until smooth.
  4. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add garlic and onions; saute 2-3 minutes until softened.
  5. Add tomato-chile mixture and stir for 3 minutes to heat through.
  6. Reduce heat to medium; add shredded chicken and simmer uncovered until most of the liquid has evaporated, approximately 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Preparing the tostadas: Take a tostada and spread a little bit of crema mexicana on it. Top with the prepared tinga mixture, shredded lettuce and queso fresco.
  8. Other topping suggestions: homemade refried beans, fresh cilantro, avocado, etc.
  9. Servings are estimated.
