Method

For the Tinga Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add chicken breasts and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until they are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Add Chipotle and Tomatoes

    Stir in the chopped chipotle peppers and diced tomatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

  4. 4

    Combine Chicken with Sauce

    Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, along with chicken broth. Stir well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

For Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare Tortillas

    In a separate pan, heat the corn tortillas one at a time over medium heat until they are warm and pliable, about 30 seconds per side.

  2. 6

    Assemble Torta Tinga

    On each tortilla, place a generous amount of the chicken tinga filling. Top with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
