For the Chicken
Chicken Breasts - 2
Chipotles in Adobo Sauce - 1 can
Diced Tomatoes - 1 Can
Toppings
Corn Kernels (fresh or frozen) - 1 cup
Diced Tomatoes - 1 cup
Chopped Cilantro - 1/4 cup
Avocado - 1 large, diced
Jalepeno - 1, seeded and diced (optional)
Queso Fresco - 1 cup, crumbled (can also use Monterey Jack or Cheddar)

Vegetable Oil, for frying

1
(Can be done a day ahead) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Put chicken breasts in a baking dish, pour chipotles and tomatoes over.
3
Cover dish and cook through, about 30-45 minutes.
4
Remove from oven and take the breasts out of the sauce.
5
Use a traditional or immersion blender to puree the sauce.
6
Lightly chop or shred the chicken.
7
Add back in a little of the sauce to keep chicken moist (sauce will be spicy, use chicken broth if you dont like heat).
8
Store sauce and chicken separately if doing this step ahead.
9
Chop all of your vegetables, crumble the cheese, and make sure your condiments are ready.
10
For an extra special touch, put corn kernals in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes, shaking occasionally, until browned.
11
Use extra sauce from the meat as a hot sauce if desired.
12
Heat oil in skillet to approximately 350 degrees.
13
Fry tortillas on both sides, about a minute per side, until the edges begin to brown.
14
Put on paper towels until all are fried.
15
Assemble your tostada!
16
I like to start with meat, and put cheese right on top so it softens (queso fresco wont melt).
17
Continue to top with tomatoes, avocado, corn, jalepenos and cilantro!
