Chicken Tinga
Hi, bloggers!
In this new post, I’m going to show you how to make Chicken Tinga. I promise you’re going to love it—it’s super tasty, quick, and easy to make!
Ingredients:
2 cooked and shredded chicken breasts
3 large tomatoes
½ onion (sliced)
2 garlic cloves
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil
½ cup of the broth where the chicken was cooked
Optional for serving:
Tostadas, tortillas, sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, lettuce.
Before we start, let’s wash our hands well to avoid contaminating the ingredients.
Instructions:
1. Cook the chicken: If it’s not cooked yet, place the chicken breasts in water with salt, a bit of garlic, and onion until tender. Then shred it.
2. Make the sauce: Blend the tomatoes, garlic, chipotle peppers, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the chicken broth until smooth.
3. Sauté the onion: In a large pan, heat some oil and sauté the onion until it becomes translucent.
4. Add the sauce: Pour the sauce into the pan and cook for 5–7 minutes until it thickens slightly. Add the oregano.
5. Add the chicken: Stir in the shredded chicken, mix well, and cook for another 5 minutes so it absorbs all the flavors.
And finally, it’s time to plate! Decorate however you like—with tostadas, cheese, avocado, sour cream, and onion (that’s how I do it)—and enjoy! You really have to try this; it’s so delicious.
Remember, if you want me to make a specific recipe, leave it in the comments and I’ll make it next Wednesday. See you then!
I've cooked it only once but I serve it in torta instead of tostada. I guess I'll try yours this upcoming week.
