Saddle up, taco lovers. Classic Chicken Tinga is a smoky, spicy mix of tomatoes, chipotle peppers, and sliced onions; this shortcut version brings all that taco-worthy goodness to the table with Old El Paso™ Taco Seasoning, Chopped Green Chiles, and Red Enchilada Sauce. Give it a 10-minute simmer, and you’ve got a whole herd of tinga tacos ready to roll.
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, combine the chicken, green chiles, taco seasoning, and 1/2 cup water; stir to coat.
Stir in the red enchilada sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce is heated through and begins to thicken, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat, divide the chicken among the heated taco shells, and serve with toppings of choice.
Round up your favorite toppings and serve your Chicken Tinga Tacos with a dollop of sour cream, chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, and a sprinkle of queso fresco.
Want more smoke? Swap in Old El Paso™ Mild Chipotle Enchilada Sauce for a little extra smoky, savory goodness.
Open it up, partner! Serve your Chicken Tinga on Old El Paso™ Tostada Shells and pile on all your favorite taco toppings.
