Instructions
1. Start by dicing your chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces. Add to a bowl with mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, avocado oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, chipotle seasoning, salt, pepper, and the juice of one lime. Mix well until everything is coated. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, or longer for even more flavor.
2. While your chicken marinates, prepare your guacamole. Add your avocados, diced Roma tomato, red onion, salt, pepper, lime juice, and cilantro to a bowl. Mash everything together until you reach your desired consistency.
3. For the pico de gallo, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, salt, pepper, and the juice of ½ lime. Mix well and set aside.
4. Next, make your chipotle sauce. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, paprika, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
5. Heat a drizzle of avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add your marinated chicken and sear until golden brown and fully cooked.
6. Drizzle your chicken with honey or hot honey, depending on how much heat you like. Reduce the heat to a simmer and toss until the honey slightly thickens and coats the chicken. This usually takes about 1 minute.
7. To assemble, spread a generous layer of guacamole over your tostada shells, add your fresh pico de gallo, pile on that hot honey chicken, and finish with a drizzle of your homemade chipotle sauce.
