Cooking Tips

  • If you can't find achiote paste, you can substitute it with a mixture of paprika, cumin, and annatto powder.
  • For a spicier mango sauce, add more jalapeno or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • You can also add some sliced avocado or pickled onions as additional toppings for the tostados.

Storage and Serving

  • These tostados are best served immediately while the chicken is still warm and the tostada shells are crispy.
  • If you have any leftovers, store the chicken, mango sauce, and toppings separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
  • To reheat the chicken, you can either microwave it or warm it up in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
  • When ready to serve the leftovers, assemble the tostados with fresh tostada shells and toppings.
