Step 2

2. Once cooked, shred and put to the side.

3. While chicken cooks, roast the poblano pepper and jalapeño (omit if you don’t it spicy) using your preferred method. (Air fry at 390* F for 10 minutes)

Step 4

4. Let it “sweat” out in a plastic bag, peel the skin, and remove the seeds.

Step 5

Step 7

7. Air fryer tostadas: Air fry tortillas at 390* F for 4 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 4 minutes. (The tortilla will fly if you don’t put it under the tray or weigh it down with an air fryer safe dish)

Step 8
