Toppings for Tostadas

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Place the corn tortillas on a baking sheet and spray each side with cooking spray. Bake 6 minutes. Then flip and bake for 6-7 more minutes or until crispy.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium/high heat. Add the onion into the pan and leave undisturbed for 3-4 minutes. Once the onions start to brown, stir them. Then add the ground chicken into the pan.
- Break up the ground chicken with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chipotle sauce, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt and tomato paste to the ground chicken. Stir to combine. Then add in the chicken broth. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 6-7 more minutes or until the liquid has evaporated.
- For the crema: Place all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Start with 2 teaspoons of lime juice and adjust according to your taste.
- Layer each tostada with about 1/4 cup of ground chicken, followed by the red onion, tomato, cilantro, avocado, and crema.
