Chicken Tinga Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
  • 0.5 Cup diced onion
  • 2 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 1-2 Chipotle peppers in Adobo Sauce finely diced (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.75 Cup canned crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 Cups Cooked Chicken breast shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)

For Serving

  • 8-10 street taco low carb tortillas
  • Sliced avocado
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Diced red onion
  • Crumbled cotija cheese
  • Lime wedges

Instructions
 

  • Start by heating your avocado oil in a sturdy skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and clear, which takes about 8 minutes.
  • Next, stir in the minced garlic, diced chipotle peppers, dried oregano, ground cumin, crushed fire-roasted tomatoes, and kosher salt. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  • Stir in your shredded cooked chicken breast and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through. Give it a quick taste and adjust any seasonings if needed.
  • To enjoy your delicious tacos, simply spoon the chicken tinga mixture onto low-carb tortillas. Garnish with fresh avocado slices, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, and crumbled cotija cheese. A squeeze of fresh lime juice adds a perfect tangy finish!
