Tostadas with Chicken and Mole Verde
The Mole Verde is said to have been created the state of Oaxaca "the land of the seven moles" and enjoyed throughout the state. It is served often with pork, it can also be prepared with beef or chicken. A different way to enjoy mole verde is on tostadas, and here is now one way mexicans really enjoy. If you want your chicken tostada with Mole Verde to have a real homemade taste, it is easy to make your own tostadas: for this all you need is tortillas and vegetable oil; fry them in hot oil long enough so that they become crisp and then drain the excess fat. Let them cool and then cover with the mole.
