Directions
- Add tomatoes, garlic cloves, chipotle chiles, adobo sauce, a quarter of the sliced onions, and 1/2 cup water to a blender container. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add remaining onion strips, reduce heat to low, and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Strain the tomato mixture from the blender into the sautéed onions. Stir in 1/2 cup water, oregano, and chicken bouillon. Add more water in 1/4 cup increments if you prefer your mixture with more liquid. Add shredded chicken; stir, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Top tortillas with chicken tinga. Garnish with cabbage, cilantro, cheese and a squeeze of lime juice.

Very good. I used a 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes and no other additional liquid and it came out perfect for tacos. Followed the recipe as shown otherwise and it was not as spicy as I thought it would be. We like some heat, so I'd add more chipotles and sauce if I were to make it again.

Tasted great and pretty easy! Only complaint was that the chicken and sauce was pretty watery but that won’t stop me from making them again 😁
