Chicken Tinga Tacos Step 4

These tinga tacos were the bomb.  There are only two of us so I modifed the recipe for size.  Outstanding, we will have these again.  Thank you.

Jenna, I made these last night in the Instant Pot. I sauteed some red pepper and onion first and then placed the chicken on top and covered it all with the sauce. It was so great! I'm looking forward to making enchiladas with our leftovers!

A way I found that elevates this recipe even more is if you pickle the red onions, using a simple pickle solution of vinegar, sugar and salt. Just adds this little delicious acidity to it

Minimalist Kitchen $25 a bit too pricey for my budget. Will need to wait for used copy.
But will definitely make on the beach at Nayarit, Méx later this month!

hey, I love Taco, never prepared this at home though. Thank you! :)

Hi Lindsay. I made these in the Instant Pot last night, and they DISAPPEARED. I doubled the sauce recipe and used 2 1/2 lbs of boneless skinless chicken thighs, thinking I could have the chicken around for meal prep this week. There aren't a lot of leftovers. :-) 

There was a lot of sauce in the pot when the chicken finished cooking, but I just reduced it on "sauté" for a while and it was fine. I might leave the broth out next time so I can skip this step.

I just served the leftovers to my teenage son for breakfast, too. Grilled a tortilla, topped it with cheese, Chicken Tinga, corn and bean salsa, and a fried egg!

Thank you -- this is a new favorite for us!

I just made these (doubled the recipe) and did natural release...it turned out perfect :)

Absolutely love these chicken Tinga tacos!! I easily doubled the recipe by using a whole rotisserie chicken. I love these left overs; they have a deeper flavor! Definitely will make again!

Chicken Tinga Tacos – the only chicken tinga tacos recipe you will ever need! Spicy, saucy, simple, and so fresh.

Instant Pot Chicken Tinga is a sweet, spicy and utterly delicious authentic Mexican dish. Use is as a filling for tacos, or eat it plain with some guacamole

Chicken Tinga

Tomatillos

Onion (sliced thin)

Garlic (minced)

Chicken Broth

Canned Fire Roasted Tomatoes (canned)

Chipotle Chile

Ground Cumin

Cinnamon

Oregano

Sugar Or Other Sweetener Equivalent

Fish Sauce

Apple Cider Vinegar

Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs (, skinless, boneless)

Heat the Instant Pot on Sauté, and once it's hot, add oil.

Put down tomatillo slices in a single layer on one side, add onions in as flat a layer as possible on the other, and nestle in the garlic cloves. You're going to let these char, so do not move these for a while.

Once the thinner slices start to look a little burned, flip the vegetables. The bottom of your pot will have large black spots where the vegetables have burned, but this is a good thing.

Once the vegetables seemed well charred, add in the tomatoes and broth and deglaze the pan, scraping up all the lovely brown bits.

Add all the other ingredients except chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.

Add in chicken, close and seal the lid, and set your Instant Pot to 15 mins HP or use the Poultry setting. Let is release pressure naturally when done.

Open and remove chicken pieces and shred.

Using an immersion blender&nbsp;emulsify the sauce in the pot until the mixture is smooth. You may have to tilt the pot to get all the sauce to one side.

Turn the pot on sauté and start to thicken the sauce for 10 minutes. You want a thick sauce coating the chicken so it won't drip out thinly as it is added to the tortilla. Once it's thickened a bit, add in the chicken and heat through.

Serve with corn tortillas as a taco filling, or over rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.

Top with chopped cilantro, crema, finely chopped red onions, shredded cabbage or avocado slices.

The comment is fair but stated in what I feel is slightly rude but telling someone who visits your site and likes you post to Lighten up is definitely rude. And these tacos are just ok, imo.
