🇲🇽 3-Step Chicken Tinga Recipe 🇲🇽
1️⃣ Plop the following ingredients into a Crock-Pot / slow-cooker:
• ~2lbs skinless chicken thigh (consider bone-in!)
• 2-5 canned chipotle peppers
• 1-14.5-ounce can of fire-roasted tomatoes
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 chopped onion
• 3 tsp kosher salt
• black pepper
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp Mexican oregano
• extra optional spices
○ chili powder
○ a whole bay leaf
○ smoked paprika
2️ Let it braise on low for ~6 hours or high for ~3 hours
(If using an instant pot, you can cook this under pressure for as little as 15 minutes! And if you've got one of the really fancy ones, you can even sear the chicken and onions in the pot before braising)
3️ Remove the chicken to cool. Set the Crock Pot to high. Use an immersion blender to turn the braising liquid into a smooth sauce. Shred the chicken with your hands and return it to the bubbling sauce. Serve chicken as part of nachos, tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, or enchiladas.
Good luck, chef. Lemme know how it comes out.

My fellow lazy slow cooker chicken friend! One of my go to recipes for like a full year was chicken breast + the cheapest salsa at trader joe's (salsa autentico, and A+ salsa if you like a little spice). Throw it in the slow cooker and then shred it after like 6 hours. Tied with that was "carnitas", that is to say pork shoulder with the juice of two oranges, two onions (quartered), some mexican spices (chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt) and two limes, slow cooked for like 8 hours and then broiled to get a little crispy and a little burned. That shit was still delicious on day 6 my friend.

Didn't even have to thaw them. Pressure cooked for 15 minutes, then 10 minutes natural release before quick releasing. Super fast and easy and made enough for 6 lunches. I portioned it with rice but after eating the first serving today, I think I'm going to get some corn tortillas for the rest of it because it's just begging for tortillas.

This is such a great method and chicken tinga is such an easy way to make a bunch of great dishes easily, once you have a batch. I regularly make it similarly, the only slight difference is I just simmer the chicken and aromatics first in some salted water and/or whatever stock I have, then keep the resulting chicken broth and put the chicken in the fridge for later. Then I sweat some onion and garlic, add the tomato, chipotle, and whatever else I'm using and slow cook the chicken. It is an extra step, though not one that's very intensive or time sensitive and I end up with a bunch of really great chicken broth after. I often use some leftover chicken broth to simmer the next batch of chicken, and it just keeps getting richer.

I’m on board with summer crockpot recipes! I don’t want to heat up the house or be stuck watching a pot in the summer. I’ve never been a fan of leftovers, but recognize that good food is good food so I make giant batches and freeze them in one-cup blocks (using Souper Cube silicone trays). Vacu-sealing really stretches their freezer life. Once I’ve done this a few times, I’ve got lots of variety so leftovers are yummy! With your recipe, I feel I could do a lot using this as the base and changing up the finish. Taquitos, tacos, and quesadillas, of course, or over rice or salad greens. That blended sauce is a lovely way to add to the elegance of simple foods. Love the way you organize your videos, offer explanations regarding why you chose what you did and added options. Keep up the great work!
