Chipotle Chicken Tostada Bites

By classycook

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 1/4 c. plus 2 TBSP chipotle salsa, pureed (I like Herdez brand)
• 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 avocados
• zest and juice of one lime
• 2 TBSP red onion, finely minced
• 1 clove garlic, pressed or finely minced
• 1 Roma tomato, seeds removed, finely chopped
• 2 TBSP fresh cilantro, minced
• 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeds and ribs removed, finely minced (optional)
• 1/4 tsp. cumin
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 24 round tortilla chips
• 24 cilantro leaves, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
1. The night before serving, pour 1/4 c. pureed chipotle salsa over the chicken breast and allow to marinate, tightly covered, in the refrigerator. Turn once during marinating time.

2. Cook the chicken, covered, in a saute pan. Allow to cool, then shred. Mix shredded meat with remaining two TBSP salsa.

3. While chicken is cooling, make guacamole by combining all remaining ingredients (except chips) in a nonreactive bowl. Mix together with a fork, leaving only small chunks. Adjust salt and pepper as desired.

4. Just before serving, top each chip with a generous TBSP each of guacamole and chicken. Top with a cilantro leaf and arrange on a platter.
