Damn...this was good.  Used Rotisserie Chicken that I shredded and mixed with sautéed onions, jalapeños and a can of Mexican Style Tomatoes.  Let it simmer for an hour and crush up the tomatoes really good.  In another saucepan I sautéed lots of onions and jalapeños and then added a can of Spicy Refried Beans.  Mixed and simmered until the beans were warm and creamy.  Layered the beans first, then the chicken, hot sauce, lettuce, cheese Pico de Gallo and topped with Avocado.  Probably one of my favorite Tostadas ever.  Use the pre-cooked Tostadas so you don't have to use oil and fry.

Last week was my week with my Wife cooking some of my favorite meals.  This week is her week so I asked her what she wanted for dinner.  We had half of a Rotisserie Chicken in the refrigerator and she said to make something using the Chicken so she could empty the fridge.  I made Shredded Chicken and Bean Tostadas which we both love.  Fried the Corn Tortillas and then covered it with heated Refried Beans.  Added a layer of Shredded Chicken that I hand shredded from the breast meat.  I sauted the chicken with Mexican Stewed Tomatoes and Green Chilis to add flavor.  Topped with Lettuce, Cheese and fresh Pico de Gallo.  Delicious!

Used our homemade Shredded Beef to make delicious Tostadas.  Started with a crunchy Corn Tortilla then layer of Spicy Refried Beans and topped with Shredded Beef, Lettuce, Cheese and Pico de Gallo.  Delicious, satisfying and filling.

Not too often you see super fresh fish for $3.49 per pound in Hawaii.  I saw this beautiful pink piece of Marlin and had to buy it.  The price was incredible and the fish looked amazing.  Decided to use have of my 1.5 pounds to make Tostadas.  Placed warm Refried Beans that I made earlier with onions and jalapeño on the Tortilla and then topped the beans with the fresh Marlin that I coated with Cajun Spices and then grilled.  A little hot sauce, lettuce, cheese and Pico de Gallo for a killer Tostada.  These were really good because the fish was so fresh and very flavorful.  Yummy!

Having owned and operated a Mexican Restaurant we have some experience cooking Mexican food.

I would put our Shredded Beef up against ANY restaurant in Hawaii and many on the Mainland.

The process takes hours and hours but the result is a sweet, succulent and delicious beef that is perfect for Tacos, Tostadas and Taquitos.  One of my favorite dishes in all the World but something I don't get too often because the process takes so long and includes a lot of ingredients.  Always make our own fresh Pico de Gallo, Guacamole and Salsa which is also awesome!
