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
  • ½ 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...

Instructions

  • 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.
