"Shredded beef tinga in a spicy chipotle sauce. Slice up lettuce, tomato, onion, jalapenos, and avocados for topping. Prepare tostadas with beef, toppings, sour cream, and queso fresco (fresh Mexican cheese)."

Directions

Place beef and quartered onion in a large pot; pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Stir in salt. Cook for about 2 1/2 hours.
Add tomatoes to the boiling beef; cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Transfer tomatoes to a blender using a slotted spoon. Add chipotle peppers and 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid from the pot. Blend well and set aside.
Remove beef chunks from the pot, reserving remaining cooking liquid. Shred beef with 2 forks; discard any excess fat.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium pot. Saute sliced onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add shredded beef and saute for about 5 minutes. Pour in blended chipotle sauce. Add more of the reserved cooking liquid, if needed, to reach the desired consistency. Bring to a boil. Stir in chicken bouillon and simmer for about 5 minutes more.
