Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
3 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
ΒΌ medium onion, chopped
8 corn tortillas, warmed
1 cup canola oil for frying

Steps:

  • Place chicken into a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until chicken is tender. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside to cool.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the tomatoes, jalapenos, and onions until soft. Remove the chicken meat from the bones, shred and throw it in the skillet with the tomatoes and peppers. fry for a few minutes to give the chicken some flavor.
  • Heat the cup of canola oil in a clean skillet over medium-high heat. Fill each corn tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture, and roll into a cylinder. Fry filled tortillas in the hot oil until golden, turning once. Drain on paper, and serve hot with sour cream or salsa - or both!

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this tinga recipe was surprisingly mild. It was also very easy to make.

This tinga recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a very affordable meal to make.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This was the best tinga I've ever had! The chicken was so tender and the sauce was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This tinga recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it always turns out delicious. I usually serve it with rice and beans, but it's also great on tacos or burritos.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was excellent. I will try again with a different cooking method for the chicken.
