Tostadas De Tinga (Chicken Tostadas)

"Tostadas de tinga (aka chicken tostadas) are an easy slow cooker dinner for your next busy weeknight! Tender, zesty shredded chicken sits on top of crispy tostada shells, and is finished with all of your favorite toppings — like pico de gallo, salsa, sour cream, cilantro, cheese, or guacamole. Chicken tinga is a Mexican dish made with shredded chicken that’s cooked in a sauce that includes tomatoes, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and sliced onions. It’s often served on a tostada (as shown here), and may also feature a layer of refried beans. Garnishes such as avocado, crumbled cheese, Mexican crema, and salsa finish off the chicken tostadas, adding delicious flavor, color, and texture."
