Spice up your taco night with this Spicy Chicken Tinga<\/strong> recipe. Shredded chicken is cooked in a spicy red chipotle sauce to create the perfect taco filling. A protein like this Spicy Chicken Tinga<\/strong> is the foundation for a delicious taco. The Spicy Chicken Tinga<\/strong> can be the star of the show in a build-your-own taco or burrito bowl spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You only need five main ingredients to make this Chicken Tinga: chicken breasts, white onion, chipotle peppers in adobo, crushed tomatoes, and garlic cloves. It\u2019s that simple. This recipe requires minimal active time, so you can set the table and prepare toppings for taco night. Most of the hard work is done in the blender while the chicken boils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Spicy Chicken Tinga<\/strong> is a medium level of heat. The chipotle peppers make it spicy but not too hot where your eyes start watering. I\u2019ve tested the recipe to varying degrees of spiciness to make sure it’s just<\/em> right. The final recipe brings the heat while still leaving room to add a hot salsa verde on top. If you want to turn down the heat, only use one chipotle pepper instead of two.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the ingredients are shelf stable making it an easy and affordable main. You can substitute 1.5 to 2 lbs of chicken breasts for the same weight of boneless, skinless chicken thighs. If you prefer a more saucy Chicken Tinga use less chicken to have a bigger sauce-to-chicken ratio.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
