These chicken tinga tostadas are topped with cotija cheese for a salty bite, while cilantro adds a pop of flavor and color. We bake the tortillas to ensure a crispy base, while also using less oil than deep-frying.

Very good! If you like chipotle I’d use a bit more than 1/4th cup, and maybe drain a little of the tomato juice. But you can always use a slotted spoon. I used feta instead of cotija because it’s more cost effective. I also used canned plum tomatoes. Diced have stuff that holds the form so they don’t breakdown how I like. My 15 year old loved this too.
