Tinga Taco Seasoning by Todo Verde

Tinga comes to us from central Mexico with origins in Puebla. It’s typically prepared with shredded chicken stewed in a sauce made of tomato, garlic, onion and chipotle, and served on crunchy tostadas. This dish’s flavor profile includes smokey notes of chipotle chile, tangy tomato which give it its red hue, and stewed onions. Recipes vary from family to region, sometimes including dried chipotle morita, chipotle meco or chipotles in adobo creating different flavor intensities of smoked chile.

Many food stands in mercados throughout Mexico City will serve tostadas de tinga that layer refried beans atop the tostada and garnish with shredded lettuce, crema, and crumbled cheese.

Instructions
Simply season your desired protein and cook with oil for 15-20 minutes. We’re plant-forward and love adding to sliced or shredded mushroom varieties, crumbled extra-firm tofu, rehydrated soy protein curls and crumbles, shredded jackfruit, beans, and so much more.
