Tinga!

Last Wednesday it was my turn to make lunch at the house, so I decided to make a very common mexican dish, it is called tinga. I thought about sharing the recipe with you since I received a comment from an admired blogger from India! So I thought this recipe might give everyone a closer idea of mexican food.

you will need:
2 tomatoes
1 boiled chicken breast
1/4 onion
2 potatoes /diced
1 cup of green peas
1 chile chipotle
2 pieces of garlic
10 to 15 olives 
salt pepper and oil

first you want to stir frie your onions

there you can add some salt and pepper and the garlic, meanwhile you cut the tomatoes in big chunks and place them on the mixer with 2/4 cup of water, half teaspoon of salt, half of an chipotle pepper and the onions and garlic you just fried. You can find the chipotle peppers in the Hispanic foods isle,they usually look like this:

you only want to use a little bit because they can be very spicy.
 the chicken breast must be shredded, and it tastes better if you make it boil with onions, salt, garlic and some black pepper.

the ingredients must be stir fried as shown and mix the tomato sauce at the end.
Let it cook for about 10 minutes.
once its finished just serve, you can side it with some rice and eat it with some corn tortillas, tortilla chips or tostadas topped with sour cream and some grated cheese.

enjoy!
