In blender, place boiled onion and garlic clove, quartered tomato, chipotle chiles including adobo sauce, 2 teaspoons salt and enough chicken broth to fill blender halfway. Cover; puree until smooth. Set aside.
In deep 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. When hot but not smoking, stir in chopped onion; cook about 2 minutes or until soft and translucent. Add chopped tomatoes and chopped garlic; cook 2 minutes longer.
Add shredded chicken, chipotle sauce from blender and more chicken broth if too dry. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes. Add salt to taste.
To serve, heat tostadas as directed on package. Place 1 tostada on each serving plate. Spoon on some of chicken mixture over each tostada. Top each with lettuce, 1 or 2 slices ripe avocado, crumbled queso fresco, crema, salsa and/or radishes.
