    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add shredded chicken, chipotle peppers, tomato sauce, chicken broth, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well and let simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

    Assemble the Tostadas

    On each tostada, layer the tinga mixture, followed by sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately.
