Ground Chicken Tinga

About This Recipe

Extra lean ground chicken and onion cooked in a fire roasted tomato and chipotle chile sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground Chicken (97/3)
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1/2 White Onion (finely diced)
• 15 oz can Fire Roasted Tomatoes
• 3-4 Chipotle Peppers in Adobo (whole 3.7 oz can for extra spicy)
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
• 8 oz Chicken Broth or Water

Instructions

1. Add the tomatoes, chipotles, chili powder, garlic cloves, and chicken broth to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Brown the chicken on one side before breaking apart and pushing to one side of the pan.
3. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and the onion to the other side of the pan. Cook until the onions start to pick up a little color and soften before mixing in with the ground chicken.
4. Continue mincing until the chicken is fully cooked.
5. Add the sauce and continue cooking until it thickens, about 6-8 minutes.
6. Serve on tostadas with refried beans and garnish with queso fresco, cilantro, and pickled onions, if desired.
