Chicken Tinga<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Servings:\u00a0<\/strong> 3 (10-12 Tacos)<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n1 tablespoon olive oil<\/span>
\n1\u20442 onion, peeled and diced<\/span>
\n3<\/span> cloves garlic, peeled and minced
\n1<\/span>\u20132 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, diced (these are spicy hot peppers)
\n*1\u20442 teaspoon cumin, ground<\/strong><\/em>
\n*1\u20442 teaspoon smoked paprika, ground<\/strong><\/em>
\n*1 teaspoon Mexican Oregano<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

*Substitute with 2 teaspoons Tijerina Carnitas Spice Blend!\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1\u20442 cup fire roasted diced tomatoes<\/span>
\n1 ripe tomato, (Roma preferred), seeds removed and diced
\n1\/4 cup chicken broth<\/span>
\n1 teaspoon Kosher salt<\/span>
\n3 cup<\/span>s shredded cooked chicken, to keep it simple, grocery store rotisseries works great!<\/p>\n

Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and onion. Saut\u00e9 for 3-4 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.<\/li>\n
  2. Add garlic and cook for 30-45 seconds more. Stir in the chipotles, *cumin, *smoked paprika and *oregano<\/em><\/strong> or Tijerina Carnita Spice Blend<\/em><\/strong> and cook for 1 minute.<\/li>\n
  3. Add in the tomatoes, broth and salt. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 7-10 minutes.<\/li>\n
  4. Remove from heat and let cool 5-10 minutes.<\/li>\n
  5. Put the tomato mixture in a blender (let cool first) or use an immersion blend and blend until smooth. (Do not use hot liquids in a blender, may cause severe burns, let the mixture cool)<\/li>\n
  6. Return the sauce to the pan over low heat and add the chicken. Cook for 5 -8 minutes or until heated through.<\/li>\n
  7. Salt to taste.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    At this time you may add this to tortillas and top with whichever ingredients you like;\u00a0 avocado, crema, cilantro, lime, queso fresco or cotija cheese, radish, pickled onion, etc.<\/p>\n

    Sometimes I like to add it to leftover rice for a quick power bowl lunch! Or add a bit of black beans!\u00a0 Yum!<\/p>\n

    Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
