Instructions
- Poach the chicken thighs in the stock with the bay leaf and a pinch of salt for 20 minutes, then shred the meat with a fork.
- Meanwhile, blend the tomatoes, onion, garlic, chipotles with 2 tablespoons of adobo and a little stock until smooth.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the sauce over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring, until it thickens and darkens.
- Add the shredded chicken, oregano, cumin, pepper and salt, then simmer gently for 10 minutes so the meat soaks up the sauce.
- Adjust the seasoning and serve hot on tostadas with avocado and a spoonful of crème fraîche.
Variations and tips
Vegetarian version. Replace the chicken with thinly sliced button mushrooms, dry-fried until they release their liquid, then added to the sauce.
