+ 1 Chicken Tinga
I've got a very tasty chicken dish to mix it up a little. You can eat it in wraps, top your salad, or just as part of your protein portion of your meal.
Here is what you need:
2-3 chicken breast
2 tomatoes
1/2 onion
Smoked chipotle (you can find this in the mexican section of your grocery store
salt & pepper to taste
2 garlic cloves
shredded lettuce
optional tostadas Mexican section of your grocery store
boil the chicken in water and add garlic cloves. cook until done
take out of water and shred. set aside for now. in the same water that you cooked the chicken add in the 2 tomatoes and cook until skin starts to peel off. about 3-5 min. depending on size. take out of water and set aside.
Prep:
Peel the tomatoes and put in blender until completely liquified. set aside.
dice your onion into little pieces
open your can of chipotle peppers take one out along with some of the thick juice that is in the can (about 2 tablespoons full of the juice. dice the pepper up and mix with the juice. (set aside)
grab a frying pan add 1/2 tablespoon of EVOO and add you onions and dash of salt and cook until transparent. add in the liquified tomato and let it cook out for about 1-2 minutes. add chipotle and stir in, then finally add your chicken and let it cook for about another 2-3 minutes.
I like to top mine on a tostada with a mound of shredded lettuce and some light sourcream and my homemade salsa. i like it spicy!
i also make rice bowls with this and it beats anything. brown rice, topped off with the chicken, lettuce, and whatevery else you want to put on it.
My kids love them in burritos (wraps for all the gringos) and they pile on the sourcream and avacado along with lettuce. try it you'll live it!
you can mess with the amount of chipotle pepper and paste its not spicy at all it just gives it a nice smokey flavor!
