Indulge in our Quesadilla Chilanga Tinga, a delightful fusion of smoky chipotle chicken, seasoned to perfection and folded into a warm, crispy tortilla. Each bite bursts with rich flavors, complemented by melted cheese and a hint of fresh cilantro. Served with a side of zesty salsa and cooling crema, this dish is a must-try for any taco lover looking for a satisfying and savory experience.

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent. Add the shredded chicken and chipotle peppers, mixing well. Season with salt and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

Prepare the Tinga

On a separate skillet, heat a tortilla over medium heat. Sprinkle a layer of cheese on one half, add a generous amount of the tinga mixture, and top with more cheese. Fold the tortilla in half and cook until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Assemble the Quesadillas

Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Cut into wedges and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
