Method

1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the hot skillet. Sear until golden on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.

2

Remove chicken and set aside. Add sliced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3

Add canned tomatoes with their juices, chipotle peppers, oregano, and chicken broth. Stir to combine. Return chicken to the skillet and bring to a simmer.

4

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internally and is tender.

5

Remove chicken and shred it with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the skillet and stir into the sauce. Simmer for 3 more minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

6

Warm tortillas and fill each with a spoonful of tinga. Top with diced white onion and fresh cilantro.
