A Mexican classic with the delicious tostadas from Tortilleria Taiyari made by Culinessa.
Tinga de pollo is a Mexican chicken dish that you let simmer. Not difficult at all, just put some love into your cooking and this will be a mind blowing dish. The secret? The Chipotles and adobo 🙂 Tostadas? You probably know tortillas, tacos and nachos? Tostadas are crispy baked tortillas, a bit thicker than commercially available tortilla chips.
