Pollo (chicken) Tinga Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • In pot place chicken breasts and cover with water. Add chicken bouillon. Cook chicken until no longer pink, about 20-30 minutes.
  • In hot water (not quite boiling) place chiles, cover and let soak about 15 minutes. Once chiles are tender remove stems and seeds and place them into the blender. Add garlic, rotel, cumin and chipotle peppers. Blend until smooth, add water from chiles to get desired consistency. I add about 1/2 cup. Set aside.
  • Once chicken is done, remove chicken and reserve liquid. Shred chicken and place into new pot. Add the sliced onions and chile sauce. If sauce is to thick add the chicken broth 1/4 cup at a time. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until onions are tender. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • To serve place a couple spoonfuls of tinga onto a tostada shell. Top with cojita cheese, shredded lettuce, cream, avocado strips and a squirt of lime juice.

    This is one of the best tinga recipes you will ever make. The squeeze of lime juice gives it a signature of authenticity. See more in IMI: Pollo Chicken Tinga
