Chicken Tinga Tostados

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Chicken Tinga Tostados). This authentic Mexican recipe I picked up while living in Mexico. It has a spicy, smoky flavor from chipotle peppers. It is perfect for a buffet where people can serve themselves and even better heated up as leftovers the next day! If this is too spicy for you, try using less chipotle peppers.
