Step 1
In a skillet over medium heat, combine 2 cups shredded beef, 2 tbsp chipotle peppers, and 1 cup tomato sauce. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

While beef simmers, thinly slice 1 red onion and toss with juice of 1 lime and a pinch of salt. Set aside to pickle.
Step 3
Warm 8 tostada shells in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 1 minute per side, until fragrant.
Step 4
Top each tostada with beef tinga, pickled onions, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
Step 5
Add a splash of water if the beef gets too dry while simmering.
