I missed the original Today show, but my friend recently gave me your cookbook and I’ve been enthusiastically making my way through it. We’ve enjoyed every recipe so far, but the Chicken Tinga is the current favorite. I’ve served it two days in a row and nobody has complained! They love it in a torta or along side a serving of rice. Thank you for the great recipes!

I heard the word Tinga 2 times, on 2 different PBS shows, in 2 weeks and had never heard previously. I think that is an indication that it’s time to give it a whirl. Thank you.

Pati,
What a great recipe! My grandmother made tinga, along with many other great foods from her native Guanajuato when I was growing up, and unfortunately many of her recipes died with her. I’m trying your Tinga recipe this weekend. Just one question: how many tomatillos? The ingredient list seems to omit them, although you mention them in the the text and there’s a picture of two of them in the blender. So, I assume two?
Muchas gracias for sharing your recipes with the world!

Hola Robert, Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! First, yes, this dish is even more versatile Besides the quesadillas and tostadas, I like to serve the Chicken Tinga as a main with a side of beans and rice and also use it to make tacos. Yes, you can use cans of Roma tomatoes and yes, drain the juice before putting them in the food processor. Yes, I do have a recipe and will be sure to post it soon and let you know!

Hi Pati,
I literally just got done with this recipe about 3 minutes ago and wow! I love it! I’m going to put the chicken on tostadas, like you did on the Today Show, for my family tonight. After I tasted the finished product I immediately thought about the versatility of this. I love versatile dishes. Especially for week nights. A few questions: Besides tostadas and quesadillas are there some other favorite ways you and your family enjoy the tinga? Also, in the months where tomatoes are not in season I thought of grabbing some cans of Roma tomatoes. By doing that should I drain the juice from the can before I put the tomatoes in the food processor? One last question not related to pollo, do you have your own recipe for chorizo?
Once again this is fantastic. Thank you so much. I love your website, too, by the way.
Robert
