Who needs another chicken taco recipe? Nobody. And yet I’m writing it. I’m doing it because I like tacos. But I’m also doing it because the world does need a better enchilada recipe. This recipe, along with this tomatillo salsa is laying the groundwork. Better restaurant style enchiladas verdes coming soon. Tinga is a simple, shredded chicken dish with a red chili sauce. You know that tasteless shredded chicken you get at your local Mexican restaurant? This is what it’s supposed to taste like. Spicy, well seasoned and a little bit sour. Way better. You can use it to make chicken tinga tacos. Or enchiladas. Or quesadillas. Or you can just eat them straight from the pot. That’s what I do.
