I love this recipe!
The first time I had Tinga chicken was at a California restaurant and it was on their breakfast menu. I was craving Huevos Rancheros. They had called it something different, it was close to what I was craving. I had to go home and make it with my Taco Seasonings. I think it was even more cravable.
Perfect for tostadas, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, Huevos Rancheros, or any of your favorite Mexican recipes

Recipe Note
I have only suggested a few ways to serve this delicious, zesty Tinga Chicken. I say, however you like!
Just make it happen! The restaurant served it like this: Served the Tinga Chicken on top of red tortilla chips, topped it with 2 eggs over medium and salsa, cheese, and jalapenos. Yes I ate every bite and loved it!
