About Quesadilla de tinga

Quesadilla De Tinga is a flavorful Mexican dish featuring shredded chicken cooked in a savory tinga sauce made from tomatoes, chipotle peppers, onions, and garlic. This smoky, slightly spicy filling is nestled inside a folded corn or flour tortilla, typically pan-grilled to a golden crisp. Frequently served with melted cheese, fresh cilantro, and optional toppings like avocado or crema, this quesadilla offers a delicious balance of protein and carbohydrates. Tinga's high-protein chicken makes it a satisfying choice, while the dish's fresh ingredients contribute vitamins and minerals. However, cheese and crema can add significant fat and calories depending on portion size. Opting for a corn tortilla and moderate amounts of cheese enhances its nutritional profile. As a versatile favorite in Mexican cuisine, Quesadilla De Tinga combines traditional flavors with customizable options to suit various dietary preferences.
