Steps:
- In large sauce pan wilt the 5-6 sliced onions in the oil until very soft, but not brown.
- About 10-15 minutes meanwhile in blender add as many chipotle chiles as you dare (when making it for my husband I add the whole can) and add lots of the adobo from the can as it adds tons of flavor but almost no heat.
- To the chiles add the tomatoes, chopped onion, garlic, bullion, and salt blend until smooth.
- Add puree to onions and cook about 5 minutes.
- Add shredded meat (to make the shredded meat I boil a chuck roast, or pork roast for several hours in salted water until very tender and then shred-the chicken I just boil until cooked through and no longer pink, if cooked too long it will become mushy) stir entire mixture and cook until warmed through 1-2 minutes.
- To eat take a tostada and spread with sour cream.
- Sprinkle on some parmesan cheese if desired.
- Add shredded lettuce and top with tinga mixture.
- Bite!
- Serve with several napkins on the side.

[email protected]I tried this recipe last night and it was delicious! The chicken was so tender and flavorful. I used a rotisserie chicken to save time and it worked perfectly. The chipotle peppers in adobo sauce added just the right amount of heat. I will definitely
