TINGA DE POLLO (CHICKEN WITH CHIPOTLE AND ONIONS)



Tinga de Pollo (Chicken with Chipotle and Onions) image

Guadalupe Moreno runs Mi Morena, a tacos de guisado business in the Bay Area, where a number of saucy fillings and toppings are used to mix and match tacos to order. She shared her recipe for tinga de pollo with Leticia Landa and Caleb Zigas for their cookbook "We Are La Cocina." Ms. Moreno's tinga de pollo works perfectly in tacos and also on top of crisp tostadas with lettuce and salsa, inside quesadillas or as a tamal filling. It's a great way to use up any leftover cooked chicken (just skip straight to step 2), whether pulled from a roast or poached bird, or grocery-store rotisserie.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings (about 3 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds bone-in chicken legs, breasts or a combination
1/2 medium white onion
1 celery stalk, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 small carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 medium white onion, halved and thinly sliced
3/4 cup canned crushed tomatoes
3 chipotles in adobo with sauce (1/3 cup)
2 garlic cloves, peeled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the chicken: Combine the chicken, onion, celery and carrots in a large saucepan and add 4 cups cold water. Add more water if needed to cover the solids. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until the chicken is very tender and falling off the bones, about 45 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a bowl. When cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones, then pull the meat into very fine shreds. Strain the broth and reserve for Tamales de Pollo or another use.
  • While the chicken cooks, make the sauce: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. While the onion cooks, puree the tomatoes, chipotles and garlic in a blender until smooth. Add to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the chicken to the sauce and gently fold to evenly coat and heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately or cool to room temperature to use a filling for Tamales de Pollo.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: For the best results, choose a flavorful cut of beef, such as chuck roast or flank steak.
  • Don't skip the marinade: The marinade helps to tenderize the beef and infuse it with flavor. Be sure to marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the beef slowly: Tinga de res is a slow-cooked dish, so be patient. Simmer the beef for at least 1 hour, or until it is fall-apart tender.
  • Use a variety of spices: Tinga de res is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Some common spices used in tinga de res include cumin, chili powder, oregano, and garlic powder.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Tinga de res is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular sides include rice, beans, tortillas, and guacamole.

Conclusion:

Tinga de res is a delicious and flavorful Mexican dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its tender beef, rich sauce, and variety of spices, tinga de res is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
