1
Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the sliced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chicken thighs, chipotle peppers, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.
2
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
3
Shred the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce. Let it cook for an additional 5 minutes.
4
Assemble Tacos
Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave. Fill each tortilla with the Chicken Tinga filling and top with your choice of toppings such as avocado, cilantro, diced onions, or lime juice.
