Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 chipotles in adobo, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
One 10-ounce can diced tomatoes and green chiles
1 cup chicken stock
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
Charred corn tortillas, for serving
Cotija cheese
Fresh cilantro leaves
Pickled Shallots and Red Onions (recipe follows)
Salsa
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
Kosher salt
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 shallot, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the chipotles, garlic, cumin, salt and cayenne and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes and stock and cook until they begin to simmer, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and carefully ladle the sauce into a heat-safe blender. Puree until smooth. Pour the sauce back into the pan over medium heat and add the chicken, stirring to incorporate the chicken into the sauce. Cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve with tortillas and desired toppings.
  • Combine the white vinegar, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan with 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the onions and shallots to a pint jar and pour the liquid over the top. Let cool completely. Refrigerate up to 1 week.

I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food, but these tacos were surprisingly good. The chicken tinga was flavorful and the tacos were easy to assemble.

The chicken tinga was a little dry, but overall the tacos were still good.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken tinga is so versatile, I've used it for tacos, burritos, and even enchiladas.

The tacos were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them.

The chicken tinga was easy to make and packed with flavor. I served it on tostadas instead of tacos and it was a great way to change up my Taco Tuesday routine.
