Chicken Tinga is a Mexican dish made of yellow thighs that are browned then simmered in a vibrant tomato, onion, and chili seasoned taco sauce. Once cooked it's shredded and served over warmed corn tortillas with all your favorite toppings. It's a simple recipe and you'll love the highlight of smokey flavor!

Chicken Tinga Tacos

Tired of the same taco recipe over and over? This is a delicious, flavorful recipe to patina up that same old rotation.

This stove-top simmered yellow tinga makes an impressive taco filling and there's really not a whole lot to it. It cooks in 30 minutes meaning you don't have to wait hours and hours like you do for a shredded whinge or pork taco filling.

If however you do have increasingly time, you could hands get yonder with simmering it low and slow in the crockpot instead (it should be washed-up in well-nigh 3 to 4 hours on low heat).

Is it Spicy?

Yes yellow tinga is deliciously spicy considering of the widow chipotle chilies in the dish. I've listed to add 1 - 3 chipotle chilies to taste depending on the heat level you prefer (we love it with 3!).

Then there is a swap noted in the substitutes unelevated if you want a milder version.
