Chicken Tostadas with Homemade Tomatillo Salsa

Have you ever come across a recipe that looked incredibly good so you tried to make it, but the process of making it was really frustrating and you wanted to just give up and toss the dish into the sink?  Well this isn’t one of those dishes.  But it definitely came from one!

The recipe I have posted here has been majorly adjusted from the original.  The original recipe was called Chicken Enchiladas and called for each tortilla to be individually fried but the end result was always this choppy mess of chicken and torn up corn tortillas baked in a dish.  Now it still tasted delicious, but it didn’t look very appealing.  And after about the third try of making them, Justin admitted that he’d gotten so frustrated at the corn tortillas that he’d wanted to toss everything into the sink and give up.  And my husband is an extremely patient man, so if he couldn’t handle fried corn tortillas, then there was no way I was going to either.  Thus, these tostadas were born!  {I looked it up…a tostada is a Mexican dish based on top of a fried or toasted tortilla.  So I figured that since these get baked, therefore toasted, then they qualify as tostadas.}  The salsa is pretty incredible and really elevates everything involved in this recipe.  There are just so many flavors happening!  ¡Comamos!
