About This Recipe:
Why have boring ground beef tacos when you can have chicken tinga tacos?! These tacos are saucy, spicy, and quite addicting. It’s all about the sauce for these tacos, and luckily, it’s pretty easy to make. If you cannot find chipotles in adobo sauce, you can use regular hot sauce (I love Cholula,) crushed red pepper flakes, etc. And then for the chicken you can use rotisserie chicken, leftover chicken, or easily roast chicken breast at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes. Don’t forget to load up on all the toppings!
Enjoy!
