Cook 6 pounds of chicken on the stove with salt and garlic until done.

Remove the chicken and let it cool to shred it later.

Slice the onion as thin as possible for sautéing.

Sauté the onion in a little oil until golden brown.

Prepare the sauce by cooking 4 tomatoes, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 bay leaves, 2 cloves, and 2 black peppercorns with salt to taste.

Blend the sauce ingredients until smooth.

Add the shredded chicken to the sautéed onion and pour the blended sauce over it; mix well.

If necessary, switch to a larger pot to accommodate the chicken and sauce.

Simmer the chicken with the sauce until it is well combined and moistened.

Prepare toppings: slice lettuce and avocado, and make a salsa with 15 tomatillos and chili de árbol, blending with garlic after cooking.

Wash the lettuce thoroughly and sprinkle with salt; let it sit for 15 minutes to clean.

Use baked tostadas instead of fried for a healthier option.
