Instructions For Tamarind Liquid

In a large bowl filled with water, soak Tamarind pods overnight, cover. When softened, boil tamarind in their liquid for 5-7 minutes. Let cool. In a medium to large bowl, run tamarind and liquid through a strainer, scraping tamarind shells, seeds and pulp against the strainer sides to get all the tamarind water/juice. Set tamarind water/juice aside and discard shells.

To Prepare BBQ Sauce

In a medium to large pot, heat oil and sauté onion and garlic until translucent. Add ancho chile powder, pepper, salt, ketchup and mustard. Stir and mix well. Add apple cider, molasses, brown sugar and ginger. Stir and mix well. Cook for 15 minutes without burning. Add Red Savina Pepper and tamarind liquid. Simmer for 30 minutes more without burning.

To Assemble Tostadas

Place tostadas on a large platter. Top with shredded chicken, barbecue sauce, jicama, red onion and chopped cilantro.
