2 tablespoons canola oil plus more for frying
1 onion large, chopped
4 cloves garlic chopped
kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 chipotles in adobo canned, seeded and chopped
6 corn tortillas 6-inch
lime wedges for serving
slaw Crunchy
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
kosher salt
1/2 head green cabbage 10 ounces, shredded
1 red apple shredded
3 scallions sliced

1
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
2
Add the cumin and paprika. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken, chipotles, and 1/4 cup water. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the chicken is very tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Uncover and cook until the liquid has nearly evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes. Coarsely shred the chicken.
3
Meanwhile, heat 1/4 inch of oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Fry 2 tortillas at a time until browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
4
Top the tostadas with the chicken and Crunchy Slaw. Serve with the lime wedges.
5
Crunchy Slaw: Whisk the yogurt, vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Toss in the cabbage, apple, and scallions. Let sit for 20 minutes before serving.
