Chicken Tinga

by | Aug 8, 2016 | Chipotle, Recipes

This  is my friend Dougie’s own version of chicken tinga. A quick and easy recipe, pack with flavours, that transform chicken to something addictive. Serve on soft tortillas, tostadas or your favourite bead.

Chicken tinga, it is by far one of my favourite Mexican traditional recipes, and it was a must to include in the Wrestler Cook Book (By El Cocinero and KanKun Luchador, 2016).

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breast
  • 2 red onions chopped finely
  • 4 cloves of garlic (mince)

  • 1 tsp of cumin
  • a pinch of cloves
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 Tbsp of Kankun™ chipotle hot sauce
  • 200ml of sour cream (optional)
  • Corn tortillas

Preparation
