Tinga de Pollo Tostadas are a classic Mexican dish that is surprisingly healthy and easy to make. It is one of our favorite meals that comes together fast!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I could eat Mexican food all day every day. Seriously. And really, it’s not all that unhealthy. As long as you avoid frying and using too much cheese…

Tinga de Pollo tostadas are such a simple, but delicious healthy recipe that you and your family will LOVE!

Tinga de Pollo is made using chipotle peppers, but it’s not that spicy. In fact, I’ve been feeding the seasoned chicken to my son since he was 9 months old. It’s one of his favorites.

The best part about this is you can whip it up in about 10 minutes if you use a pre-made rotisserie chicken.

I always grab the giant $5 ones from Costco when I’m planning on making these. I only use the breast meat and then legs, thighs, and wings are reserved for another meal during the week.

These chicken tostadas are a classic Mexican recipe. The basics of the recipe are always the same: tomatoes, chipotle peppers, onion, and chicken breast.

Tinga is all protein, super healthy! Use store bought tostadas instead of homemade for less fat 😋 my kids LOVE this recipe ❤️#healthymexicanfood #momtok #latinafitmom #momsoftiktok #momsover30 #healthylifestyle #kidfriendly

Assembling your Tinga de Pollo tostada:

Typically you wanna slather a little sour cream on the tostada first, then pile on the meat. After that you can add queso fresco, shredded lettuce, tomatillo salsa or whatever your heart desires. Try it with our homemade guacamole or our easy refried beans 😉

Aside from tostadas, I also love to use this tinga recipe as a the stuffing for my empanadas. I don’t make empanadas often because they are deep fried & carb heavy, but trust me, they are amazing with this spicy chipotle chicken filling.
