Recipe for Chicken Tostados
Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 8 oz bottle beer
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
3 large cloves fresh garlic, chopped
1 tbsp diced jalapeno pepper
1 cup fresh chopped cilantro
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tin niblets corn, drained
1 tin re-fried beans
Your favorite toppings… shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, green onion, avocado etc
Directions
Begin by placing the chicken in a crockpot that’s been treated with cooking spray or olive oil.
In a medium bowl, combine the beer, brown sugar, spices, and herbs and pour over the chicken.
Cook on the low setting for 6 – 8 hours.
When the chicken can be easily shredded with a fork, shred in the broth and add the niblets corn.
Remove to a bowl using a slotted spoon or colander, discard the extra broth or use as a soup base.
Brush 8 flour or corn tortilla shells on both sides with vegetable oil, place on baking sheets, and bake in a 400 degree oven for 3-5 minutes on one side until crispy, and 2-3 minutes on the other side.
To build the tostadas spread with a layer of re-fried beans and then top with generous amounts of the shredded chicken followed by shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, more cilantro, avocado – really the skies the limit – whatever you like – and then there’s nothing to do but enjoy.

Lyndsay I have always loved tostadas, pretty much the just flat tacos. But
there’s just something about a tostada that’s appealing to me. I think your
recipe for slow cooking the chicken, would infuse a lot of flavor into the
meat. What makes this recipe so special is the way you garnished the
finished tostadas. This is in fact a great recipe for game day.

Wow Lyndsay, they looks so delicious! I love this kind of food so I know
this would be something I would really like. Thanks for sharing. Have a
wonderful weekend. ~Lynn
Wow, Lindsay and Tom, what a great collaboration on a magnificent dish! I
love both of you and your channels to the max! These slow cooker tostadas
are a glorious celebration of southwest cuisine with lime, cilantro, chili
powder, cumin, refried beans, avocado, and on and on! WOW! This is too good
for words! Thanks for the great recipe! All the best to you both!
Oh my gosh, the sauce is my favorite, I love anything that is made with or
marinated in beer. Oh! And my husband is the same way, I have to tell him
to stay away from the kitchen every time I make a recipe for the channel
because otherwise he eats it all! LOL.
Like Juanelo said! (he can speak for me since he has a way with words).
What a great treat to see a collaboration between the beautiful Lyndsay
Wells and the Old Man Cooking! You make a great pair. You know, even more
than your great recipes, you both share such a positive, happy feeling in
your videos that is just what the world needs. Thanks so much for doing
what you do!
