Serve the child a tostada with plain shredded chicken, a spoonful of refried beans, and a few avocado slices; skip the chipotle sauce and crumbled cheese.

Recipe

1

Place the chicken breasts in a medium pot, cover with water, add 1/2 tsp salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature 75°C).

child_care Set aside one small piece of plain cooked chicken for the child before shredding.
2

While the chicken cooks, dice the onion and mince the garlic. Drain and rinse the black beans.

3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

4

In a blender, combine the canned tomatoes, chipotle peppers, and cumin. Blend until smooth.

child_care Skip the chipotle in the child's portion; use plain tomato sauce if desired.
5

Pour the blended sauce into the skillet with the onions. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

6

Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes until heated through.

In a small saucepan, warm the black beans over medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes. Slice the avocado.

Assemble the tostadas: spread a spoonful of beans on each tostada, top with tinga chicken, crumbled cotija, a dollop of sour cream, and avocado slices.
