Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Chicken 97/3
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 White Onion finely diced
  • 15 oz can Fire Roasted Tomatoes
  • 3-4 Chipotle Peppers in Adobo whole 3.7 oz can for extra spicy
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 8 oz Chicken Broth or Water

Instructions

  • Add the tomatoes, chipotles, chili powder, garlic cloves, and chicken broth to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Brown the chicken on one side before breaking apart and pushing to one side of the pan.
  • Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and the onion to the other side of the pan. Cook until the onions start to pick up a little color and soften before mixing in with the ground chicken.
  • Continue mincing until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Add the sauce and continue cooking until it thickens, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Serve on tostadas with refried beans and garnish with queso fresco, cilantro, and pickled onions, if desired.
