Golden, crunchy tostadas serve as the base on a white, round plate. The vibrant, shredded chicken in a rich, crimson sauce is heaped generously atop the tostadas, with flecks of green from chopped dill popping against the warm tones. Purple cabbage slaw adds a cool, crisp contrast both in color and texture. The dish is completed with a scattering of creamy, crumbled queso fresco and a sprig of dill as garnish.
