Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

  1. 1

    Place the chicken breasts in a medium pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

  2. 2

    Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

    Yaklaşık 20 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  3. 3

    Remove the chicken from the pot, reserving some of the cooking liquid. Shred the chicken using two forks or your hands.

    Yaklaşık 5 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Shredding is easier while the chicken is still warm.

  4. 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.

    Yaklaşık 7 dk.

  5. 5

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Yaklaşık 1 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  6. 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. 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.

    Yaklaşık 15 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  8. 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.

    Yaklaşık 2 dk.

    Aşçının notu: The chicken should be well coated in sauce, but not swimming in it.

  9. 9

    Warm the corn tortillas according to package instructions or by heating them in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side.

    Yaklaşık 3 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Warm tortillas are more pliable and taste better.

  10. 10

    Fill each warm corn tortilla with a generous amount of the chicken tinga mixture.

  11. 11

    Garnish with sliced avocado, lime wedges, fresh cilantro, and thinly sliced red onion, if desired.

    Aşçının notu: Customize your toppings to your preference.
