About Tinga de pollo

Tinga de Pollo is a traditional Mexican dish celebrated for its bold flavors and comforting simplicity. This savory shredded chicken recipe features a smoky tomato-based sauce made with onions, garlic, chipotle peppers in adobo, and a hint of spices. Often served over tostadas or rice, it’s topped with fresh garnishes like avocado, cilantro, and lime. Packed with lean protein from the chicken and rich in antioxidants from the tomatoes and chipotle peppers, Tinga de Pollo offers nutritional benefits, including supporting muscle growth and immune health. However, the dish’s calorie count can increase depending on serving style, such as frying tostadas or adding crema and cheese. Prepared with mindful portions and whole-food accompaniments, it can be enjoyed as a wholesome and flavorful meal that fits beautifully into a balanced diet while celebrating the heritage of Mexican cuisine.
