Instructions
FOR THE CHICKEN TINGA
- Heat the oil in a large pan to medium heat and add the onions and jalapeno peppers. Cook them down for 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the pan. Give them a nice sear on each side, a couple minute each.
- Process the tomato sauce and chipotles in adobo sauce in a food processor, then pour the mixture into the pan, covering the chicken.
- Stir in the seasonings.
- Bring to a quick boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily pulls apart.
- Remove the chicken and shred it with a couple of forks.
- Return the chicken to the pan and simmer in the sauce another 5 minutes.
FOR THE TOSTADAS
- Warm the tostadas (either in a microwave or in a heated pan) to your liking.
- Spread warmed refried beans over them.
- Spoon chicken tinga onto the tortillas, then top with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
