    **Ingredients**

    * 1 Spanish Cooking Onion finely chopped
    * 4 Garlic Cloves minced
    * 4 oz Chipotle Chiles in Adobo Sauce chopped
    * 15 oz Fire Roasted Tomatoes diced
    * 1 tbsp Chili Powder
    * Kosher Salt + Black Pepper to taste
    * 2 Chicken Breasts
    * 8 Tostadas
    * 15 oz Refried Beans
    * 1 cup Romaine Lettuce finely chopped
    * 4 oz Queso Fresco or Feta Cheese crumbled
    * 3/4 cup Cilantro Leaves

    **Instructions**

    1. In a large saucepan add the chopped onion, minced garlic and chopped chipotle in adobo sauce.
    2. Add diced tomatoes and chili powder and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
    3. Add 2 chicken breasts to the tomato mixture, reduce heat to medium-low, and bring to a simmer. Cover saucepan with a lid and cook until chicken is cooked through and shreds easily with two forks, 25-30 minutes.
    4. When chicken is finished cooking, use tongs to transfer to a plate and let cool slightly.
    5. While chicken cools, increase heat to medium-high and simmer sauce, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until it looks like a thick and chunky salsa, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
    6. Shred chicken breast meat into small pieces using two forks and transfer to a medium bowl. Pour warm salsa over chicken, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

    **Tostada Assembly**

    1. Spread 1/3 cup of refried beans over each tostada. Top with 1/2 cup of chicken tinga. Top with shredded lettuce, sprinkle with crumbled cheese and garnish with chopped cilantro.
