Sweet Life Disclosure: This blog post was sponsored by Aldi.  All opinions are my own.

The holiday season is brimming with good food and time well-spent with family and friends.  It’s one of my favorite times of year and I absolutely love entertaining and serving up delicious meals for all of my guests.

And all that entertaining can get busy.  On those days and in between holiday parties, I like to keep it simple and save time with quick and easy meals that are flavorful and super satisfying.  

That’s why I love tostadas.  They’re still one of my favorite go-to meals, especially during the holiday season, when I’m already spending a lot of time in the kitchen.  They’re super easy to make and can be eaten as an entree or as a hearty snack in between meals.

Just serve up a batch of warm, crispy corn tortillas and pile on all of your favorite toppings!

And tostadas are super versatile.  They can fit a variety of diets, including vegetarian and vegan diets.  You can serve your tostadas stacked high with delicious, juicy meats or simply spread on a layer of beans, avocado or salsa for an easy snack.

These easy shredded chicken tostadas are super simple and served up with easy-to-find ingredients from your local Aldi’s market.  That way, you can spend a little less time in the kitchen, and a little more time with your holiday guests.

Today, I’m going to show you how to create these rich, savory shredded chicken tostadas, topped with a refreshing and slightly sweet pomegranate salsa.

To keep things easy, I like to use my slow cooker to prepare the shredded chicken.  I can toss in the chicken, a delicious marinade made with Aldi’s Pueblo Lindo Green Enchilada Sauce, my favorite spices, and just let it set while I relax with family or guests.

Once the chicken is ready, I warm Aldi’s Pueblo Lindo Casera Style Tostadas on the comal to bring out their natural aroma and add that slightly charred, crispy texture to them that I love.

To serve, simply place a warm tostada on a plate and top with your shredded chicken and add your favorite toppings.  

I like to add a festive touch to my holiday tostadas by topping them with a delicious pomegranate salsa.  This salsa will add a pop of color to any holiday plate and a sweet contrast to savory dish, like these juicy shredded beef tostadas.

Enjoy!
