Mexican Tinga Recipe

Edith made the YUMMYIEST (is that a word) dinner last night. Mmmmmmmm

It's called Mexican Tinga


EDITH'S MEXICAN TINGA
2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (the boil the chicken here to cook it)
3 roma tomatoes
1 1/2 c. water
1/2 large onion, cut in thin slices
2 garlic cloves
1 sm can chili chipotle
2 T oil
1 1/2 t. chicken bouillon
pkg of tostadas


Blanche tomatoes in water, keep water. Place tomatoes, garlic and 1/2 c. water from blanching in blender. Mix well. Add 1-2 chilis (for mild/med hotness, add more for spicier flavor) and blend until well mixed.

Heat oil in pan over med/high heat, cook onions for about 3 minutes in oil. Add tomato mixture and another 1/2 c. water from blanching, and chicken bouillon to pan. When it starts to boil add chicken and turn heat down to med/low. Let simmer 15-20 minutes until liquid cooks down and leaves only the chicken/tomato mixture.

Serve on tostadas with sliced avocado and sour cream.

I had it last night and again today for lunch. My kids loved it as well. DELICIOUS, and quick!

  1. Since the tomatoes are blended, my husband might actually eat this! I'll give it a try!
