Ingredients:
- 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon of adobo sauce
- 8-10 small corn tortillas
- Optional toppings: diced avocado, crumbled queso fresco, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges
Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and season with smoked paprika, chili powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Once the chicken is browned, add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, chopped chipotle peppers, and adobo sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the chicken simmer in the tomato mixture for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
While the chicken is simmering, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side. Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Serve the chicken tinga on warm tortillas and top with diced avocado, crumbled queso fresco, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
There you have it, a delicious and flavorful Chicken Tinga Tacos recipe that is sure to impress your taste buds. Enjoy!
