What You Get
Smoky Tinga Simmering Sauce
Boneless skinless chicken thighs
Shredded Jack Cheese
Flour tortillas
Cilantro
Lime
What You'll Need
Olive oil or cooking oil for your choice
Salt
Black pepper
Step 1
Warm a large skillet to medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Place chicken thighs into a pan, evenly spreadout for even cooking. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste on the chicken. Saute chicken for 5-6 minutes, until chicken begins to brown. Turn chicken over and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Pour the entire container of tinga sauce on the chicken with ⅓ cup of water. Place lid loosely on top and let chicken simmer until cooking through to 165℉.
Step 3
Warm your tortilla individually on a griddle or frying pan. Alternatively, wrap your tortillas in loose foil and place in a 350℉ oven for 10 mins. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Step 4
While chicken is cooking, put shredded cheese into a small serving bowl, chop cilantro and slice the lime into wedges.
Step 5
When chicken is cooked through, remove from the skillet, let cool slightly and then shred with two forks. Alternatively, chicken can be chopped into small pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pan of tinga sauce.
Step 6
When ready to serve, place chicken tinga into each tortilla, top with cheese and garnishes. Enjoy!
