In a pot with water, cook the meat with onion, garlic, bay leaf, and enough salt for about 2 hours or until tender. Cool and shred with your hands. Reserve the cooking broth. For the salsa, blend the tomato with garlic, chipotle pepper, onion, and ½ cup of the cooking broth. Heat the oil over medium heat, add the onion, and sauté until slightly transparent, then add the tomato salsa, season with salt, and cook for 20 minutes. Add the shredded beef, adjust seasoning, and cook for 10 more minutes. Assemble the tostadas by spreading beans, adding lettuce, the shredded beef tinga, and serving with tomato, cream, cheese, and salsa. Enjoy.
