About Traditional mexican tinga de pollo

Tinga de Pollo is a flavorful Mexican dish originating from Puebla, characterized by its smoky and mildly spicy profile. It features shredded chicken simmered in a robust sauce made from tomatoes, onions, garlic, and smoky chipotle peppers. Often seasoned with herbs like oregano and topped with fresh garnishes like avocado, crema, or queso fresco, it’s traditionally served over tostadas, rice, or in tacos. Tinga de Pollo is a protein-rich dish thanks to the chicken, and the tomato-based sauce provides vitamins and antioxidants. When opting for baked tostadas or reducing added fats like oil and crema, the dish can be a wholesome option. However, traditional versions with fried tostadas or heavy toppings may add extra calories and fats. Rich in flavor and adaptable to various diets, Tinga de Pollo is a delicious reflection of Mexican culinary tradition.
