Chicken Tinga Gorditas and Tacos

Tinga tacos are probably my favorite taco of all time. That says a lot considering I love tacos.

Here is a recipe I have pieced together for a delish Tinga.

1 Onion
1 Can adobo sauce
1 can plum tomatoes
2 cans chicken broth
1 TBS of cumin seeds
1 TBS of Mexican oregano
2 TBS fresh garlic
2 packages of chicken breasts

Start by cooking the onions in a large pan until semi translucent. Next add all the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Once boiled quickly turn to low heat and slow cook for 2 hours or until chicken is super tender. You could do this in a crock pot too. Take out all the chicken and put on the side to cool. Bring the pot back up to a higher heat and let it reduce by at least half or to a consistency that you think would make a good sauce. Once you have reached this state you can purée all the ingredients with a hand blender or in a cuisinart. shred chicken and put back in the sauce for about 15 minutes.

Serve in tacos, gorditas, tosdas, or anything you want.

Ps-- I know gorditas are to be cut in half and filled, but I'm abnormal and like them this way!

Enjoy!
