How to Make Spicy Mexican Shredded Pork Tostadas Tinga
Ingredients:
Pork shoulder: 2 pounds, trimmed and cut into chunks
White onion: 1, chopped
Garlic cloves: 3, minced
Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce: 3, chopped
Diced tomatoes: 1 can (14.5 ounces)
Chicken broth: 1 cup
Bay leaves: 2
Salt and pepper: to taste
Tostada shells: 8
Shredded cheese: 1 cup
Cilantro: for garnish
Avocado: sliced, for serving
Instructions:
In a large pot, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chunks and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
Add the chopped chipotle peppers, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and bay leaves to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 1-2 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once the pork is fully cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it with a fork.
Return the shredded pork to the pot and let it cook in the sauce for another 10-15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the tostada shells on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, until they are crispy.
Remove the tostada shells from the oven and top each one with a generous amount of the spicy pork tinga mixture.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of each tostada and return them to the oven for 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sliced avocado on the side.
