Nopalito's Tostadas de Tinga Poblana

Tinga is a comforting chipotle-and-tomato-stewed chicken recipe from Puebla that usually has a tangy, lightly smoky flavor. Because of the saturated smokiness, sweetness, and kick of spice from the chipotle peppers, and the toastiness of the corn tostada, you get a lot of flavor in this dish from very few ingredients.Tinga poblana is a spicy and savory stew originating in the state of Puebla, Mexico. This recipe uses chicken, but beef and pork are traditional as well. With roasted tomatoes, onions, garlic, and chipotle peppers, it's a dish well suited to tostadas or tacos!

If you like dark chicken meat, feel free to substitute a couple of thighs for one or both of the breasts.
