    Preparation Steps

    1

    Simmer the chicken breast in lightly salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove and shred with two forks.

    2

    Finely chop the onion and garlic. Dice the tomatoes.

    3

    Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

    4

    Add the diced tomatoes, chipotle peppers, and tomato paste. Cook for 10 minutes, until the tomatoes have broken down.

    5

    Season the mixture with oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in the shredded chicken.

    6

    Cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.

    7

    Warm the tortillas in a skillet or directly over a flame until slightly charred.

    8

    Fill the tortillas with the tinga chicken, then top with fresh cilantro, grated cheese (optional), and a squeeze of lime juice.
