If you love Mexican cuisine, you may have come across the delicious dish called tinga. This traditional Mexican stew features tender shredded chicken in a flavorful tomato and chipotle sauce. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of making tinga at home, so you can enjoy this authentic Mexican dish anytime you want.

What You’ll Need

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortillas
  • Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and season with salt. Add the chicken breasts and cook until they are no longer pink in the center, about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks or your hands.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

In a separate large pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become fragrant and golden brown.

Step 3: Add the Tomatoes and Chipotle Peppers

Add the diced tomatoes and minced chipotle peppers to the pan with the onions and garlic. Stir well to combine and cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes soften.

Step 4: Season and Simmer

Add the shredded chicken to the pan and season with oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Warm up some tortillas, and spoon the tinga onto them. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Tinga can be served as a filling for tacos, tortas, or even enjoyed on its own with some rice and beans. Serve it hot and savor the delicious flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine.

Making tinga at home is a great way to explore the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine. With this step-by-step guide, you’ll be able to create a delicious and authentic tinga dish right in your own kitchen. So go ahead and give it a try – your taste buds will thank you!
