Slow-Cooker Chicken Tinga
I first fell in love with this traditional Mexican dish at a taco stand inside a gas station. This is how I now make it at home. My version has a nice zing without being overly spicy.—Ramona Parris, Canton, Georgia

My family loved this recipe! It was a nice change of pace from our regular tacos. Thanks for sharing!
Have been making Tinga for almost 40 years, with and without chorizo. Learned to make.it in Mexico. You may want to try using fresh tomato which has been liquified in the blender, along with the chipotle in adobo. Also, cut the onion into rajas (strips) and sweat them, and you don't have to remove them after cooking (every bit of vegetable helps). It is traditional to serve Tinga on tostadas with sour cream and slices of avocado, at least in Michoacan state in Mexico
