Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Place the chicken breasts in a medium pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
2
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
Aproximativ 20 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
3
Remove the chicken from the pot, reserving some of the cooking liquid. Shred the chicken using two forks or your hands.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Shredding is easier while the chicken is still warm.
4
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Aproximativ 7 min.
5
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
6
Add the crushed tomatoes, chopped chipotle in adobo sauce, chicken broth, dried oregano, and cumin to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper.
7
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
8
Stir the shredded chicken into the tinga sauce. If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash of the reserved chicken cooking liquid until it reaches your desired consistency.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: The chicken should be well coated in sauce, but not swimming in it.
9
Warm the corn tortillas according to package instructions or by heating them in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Warm tortillas are more pliable and taste better.
10
Fill each warm corn tortilla with a generous amount of the chicken tinga mixture.
11
Garnish with sliced avocado, lime wedges, fresh cilantro, and thinly sliced red onion, if desired.
Nota bucătarului: Customize your toppings to your preference.
