TINGA DE POLLO (CHICKEN WITH CHIPOTLE AND ONIONS)



Tinga de Pollo (Chicken with Chipotle and Onions) image

Guadalupe Moreno runs Mi Morena, a tacos de guisado business in the Bay Area, where a number of saucy fillings and toppings are used to mix and match tacos to order. She shared her recipe for tinga de pollo with Leticia Landa and Caleb Zigas for their cookbook "We Are La Cocina." Ms. Moreno's tinga de pollo works perfectly in tacos and also on top of crisp tostadas with lettuce and salsa, inside quesadillas or as a tamal filling. It's a great way to use up any leftover cooked chicken (just skip straight to step 2), whether pulled from a roast or poached bird, or grocery-store rotisserie.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings (about 3 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds bone-in chicken legs, breasts or a combination
1/2 medium white onion
1 celery stalk, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 small carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 medium white onion, halved and thinly sliced
3/4 cup canned crushed tomatoes
3 chipotles in adobo with sauce (1/3 cup)
2 garlic cloves, peeled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the chicken: Combine the chicken, onion, celery and carrots in a large saucepan and add 4 cups cold water. Add more water if needed to cover the solids. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until the chicken is very tender and falling off the bones, about 45 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a bowl. When cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones, then pull the meat into very fine shreds. Strain the broth and reserve for Tamales de Pollo or another use.
  • While the chicken cooks, make the sauce: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. While the onion cooks, puree the tomatoes, chipotles and garlic in a blender until smooth. Add to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the chicken to the sauce and gently fold to evenly coat and heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately or cool to room temperature to use a filling for Tamales de Pollo.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound chicken, boneless and skinless, breast, thighs, or a combo
2 pinches fine sea salt
1/2 large white onion
1 clove garlic
4 sprigs cilantro or parsley
1/4 cup safflower oil, or other neutral oil
2 medium white onions, slivered
6 ripe plum tomatoes, halved, or about 14 ounces canned whole tomatoes, drained
4 cloves garlic
2 chipotle peppers, from canned chipotles in adobo
1 cup chicken stock
Fine sea salt, to taste, 2-3 teaspoons
8 corn tortillas, preferably freshly made, see Homemade Corn Tortillas recipe video
1 ripe avocado
fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Poach chicken: In a saucepan, add chicken and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add 2 pinches salt, onion, garlic, and cilantro. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until opaque and cooked through, 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, make Tinga Sauce.
  • Tinga Sauce: In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat until smoking, 2 minutes. Add the onions (you should hear a sizzle when they hit the pan). Stir until lightly caramelized, 20 minutes. Meanwhile, place tomatoes, peeled garlic cloves, chipotle peppers, and chicken stock in a blender. Purée on medium speed until smooth, 30 seconds; then add tomato mixture to the onions. Stir and simmer, 5 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from poaching liquid. When cool enough to handle, shred by hand and add to Tinga Sauce. Check for seasoning, and add salt to taste (Chef Cámara adds 2-3 teaspoons). Simmer, 5 more minutes.
  • Assembly: Divide Chicken Tinga evenly among the tortillas. Garnish each with an avocado slice and a sprinkle of sea salt before serving.
