Tinga Your Tastebuds

Happy Taco Tuesday!

🔥 If you haven’t tried Chicken Tinga tacos, amigo… you haven’t really lived! We uncovered the shredded chicken magic that’ll turn Taco Tuesday into a full-blown fiesta.

Fun fact… Chicken Tinga hails from Puebla, Mexico—shredded chicken simmered in smoky chipotle-tomato sauce. Traditionally served on tostadas or tortillas, it’s a beloved dish blending indigenous and Spanish culinary influences.

🌮 Grab a napkin. It’s about to get saucy. Scroll on down!👇

Cheers,

Recipe By: You Suck At Cooking

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 medium white onion cut into slices
2 large garlic cloves finely diced
3 cups of tomato cut into cubes
2 tablespoons of cilantro chopped extra to decorate
2 chipotle peppers in adobochopped (the ones that come in a can) *
3 cups chicken cooked and shredded **
Flour or corn toritillas
Salt and pepper to taste.

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and add the sliced onion. Stir-fry for 3 minutes and stir in the garlic. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Mix in the chopped tomato and parsley, lower the heat, stir and let cook until tomatoes start releasing its juices. This step will take about 6-7 minutes. If your tomatoes aren’t juicy enough add a couple of tablespoons of water.

Finally, add the chicken and chopped chipotle pepper. Simmer for about 8 more minutes until all the flavors had blended. Season with salt and pepper.

To serve, garnish with chopped cilantro. You can serve it as a main dish with rice and a salad or as a topping for tostadas, sopes or for empanada filling. If you have leftovers this dish freezes well for about a month.
