3 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
ΒΌ medium onion, chopped
8 corn tortillas, warmed
1 cup canola oil for frying

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the tomatoes, jalapenos, and onions until soft. Remove the chicken meat from the bones, shred and throw it in the skillet with the tomatoes and peppers. fry for a few minutes to give the chicken some flavor.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I had to substitute them with another ingredient. The dish still turned out great!

This recipe is a waste of time. The ingredients are expensive and the dish is not worth the effort.

This tinga was a lot of work and it didn't turn out that great. I wouldn't make it again.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This tinga is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chipotle peppers.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add more vegetables. I think some chopped bell peppers or onions would be a nice addition.

This tinga is so easy to make. I just threw all the ingredients in my slow cooker and let it cook all day. It was perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

I made this tinga with ground turkey instead of chicken and it turned out great! It's a great way to get some extra protein into your diet.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this tinga was just the right amount of heat for me. It was flavorful without being too overpowering.

This tinga is so versatile. I've served it on tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. It's also great as a dip with tortilla chips.

I love the smoky flavor of this tinga. I used chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and it really gave the dish a nice kick.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few leftover pieces of chicken after dinner and this is the perfect way to use them up.

This tinga recipe is a keeper! It's so flavorful and easy to make. I love that it can be made in a slow cooker or on the stovetop.
