Pollo De Tinga Tostadas

2014 Albert Moyer, Jr.

Recipe:

Pre-made tostada shells

Roast one whole chicken with Oregano, Cumin, and Salt Rub

Once chicken is done and cools, peel all meat from chicken and reserve.

Blend in a blender, three tomatoes, one can tomato sauce, and four chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.

Add about two tablespoons brown sugar, and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt to sauce as it blends.

In a skillet, saute one chopped onion for five minutes in about four tablespoons of Olive oil.

Add the roasted chicken meat, along with the sauce. Blend and warm.

To build tostada, add some fresh mixed greens on top of shell, and then about 1/2 cup of Tinga chicken.

Sprinkle with some grated fresh Mexican white cheese and chopped fresh cilantro.

Finally, pour a little Mexican crema over the top from side to side.

Enjoy!

This will serve at least eight people.

This is a quick meal that you can create anyway you like. For this salad, I added rotisserie chicken, mixed greens, grape tomatoes, red onion, carrots, pears, tricolor bell peppers, blackberries, sunflower seeds, and a little lime vinaigrette. Quick, easy, healthy, for when you are in a hurry.

Rotisserie Chicken Salad

Today, I decided to work with some new dishes for lunch. These two recipes come from the cookbook Creating Empty Bottle Moments by Clive Berkman. I must say that the chicken recipe is one of the best I have ever had, and the roasted beet salad is bursting with flavor.  In fact, this is the first time I have ever eaten beet greens. They are delicious!

Here is a link to the cookbook

This book not only covers food, but the love and meaning behind it. It is a cookbook like none I have ever experienced regarding food and life.

And here is my finished product!
