In a large pot, cover the chicken breasts with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. Let cool slightly, then shred with two forks.
While the chicken is cooking, dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, chipotle peppers (minced), adobo sauce (from the can, about 1 tablespoon), and chicken broth to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Warm the tostada shells according to package directions.
To assemble the tostadas, spread a layer of the chicken tinga on each tostada shell. Top with shredded lettuce, crumbled queso fresco, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced avocado.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
