Slow Cooker Spicy Smoky Chicken Tinga Recipe
Report
Slow cooker smoky and spicy chicken tinga or Mexican pulled chicken is about as versatile as dishes come. You can make tacos, burritos, tostadas or nachos! I like to make a big batch and freeze into family sized portions. Once I have it completely cooked in the slow cooker I pull it or shred it and then I add back to the slow cooker to keep it warm for serving.
