Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 batch chicken tinga
  • 12 to 16 corn tortillas (homemade or store-bought)
  • fresh lime wedges
  • toppings: chopped fresh cilantro sliced red onions (or quick pickled red onions), sliced avocados (or guacamole), crumbled cotija cheese, and/or Mexican crema

Instructions

  • Make the chicken tinga. Prepare the chicken tinga according to recipe instructions, either on the stovetop, in the Instant Pot, or in the Crock-Pot.
  • Warm the tortillas. Just before serving, warm the tortillas so that they are nice and soft. (This is my favorite warming method.)
  • Assemble the tacos. Fill the tacos with a large spoonful of the chicken tinga, drizzle each with a squeeze of lime juice, then top with your favorite toppings.
  • Serve. Serve immediately and enjoy!
