tostadas de pollo

Our friend Alejandra came over one day to teach us her mother's recipe of the Mexican classic: tinga de pollo. Essentially, you poach chicken breast on the bone, shred the meat by hand, and mix it into a hot pan of sauteed onions with a sauce of pureed tomato, garlic, and chipotle. Mmmm.

The rest is easy. Take a tostada, plop on the beans, chicken, lettuce, guac, a drizzle of crema, and enjoy!

  1. You complained in an earlier post about the press not giving positive views of Mexico City. Thought of you when I read this!
