Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat your stove-top grill or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once heated, place the small corn tortilla and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until it becomes crispy and lightly browned. This will form the base of your tostada, providing a crunchy texture that complements the fillings.
2. 2.
   In a small bowl, mix the cooked shredded chicken with the chipotle sauce. Ensure that the chicken is fully coated, creating a smoky and spicy flavor profile. If the sauce is too thick, add a small splash of water to loosen it, ensuring an even coating. Heat this mixture in a small pan over low heat until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes.
3. 3.
   While the chicken is heating, rinse and pat dry the lettuce. Shred it finely if not already done to ensure it sits well on the tostada. This adds a fresh, crisp layer to contrast the spiciness of the chicken.
4. 4.
   Once the tortilla is ready, layer the chipotle-coated chicken on top, spreading it evenly. This ensures every bite is packed with flavor. Follow with a generous sprinkle of the shredded lettuce, adding a light, fresh crunch.
5. 5.
   Finally, drizzle the lime juice over everything, infusing a zesty brightness that balances the heat of the chipotle. Serve immediately while the tortilla is still crisp to enjoy a contrast of textures and flavors.
