Anyone have a good recipe that not too spicy (damn kids)?

If anyone has similar mexican recipes I'd love to hear them as well. Getting tired of tacos and nachos. Thanks.

I've never made it, but I would probably follow one of these, because the cooks have never let me down yet.

Thanks. I will be making both of those recipes. Amazing how different they are from each other.

Let us know how they turn out. Both of those channels have some good recipes. I had never really heard of chicken tinga until your post.

I hadn't either until some Mexican lady that works for my wife brought a bunch to an office party and she brought some home for me to try. Very tasty. I'll report back once I get a chance to make it.

Well this might be my new favorite Mexican dish. Surprised that it's not on any restaurant menu because it's delicious.

I took Hwy30 recipes and mixed them up a little. Tried the following:

- Brought pot of water to boil with salt, pepper, mexican oregano, bay leaves, half of a white onion, couple garlic cloves, and knorr chicken base.
- Once boiling I added a few boneless skinless chicken breasts and turned heat down to medium for 25 minutes then pulled chicken to set aside
- Added 3 ripe roma tomatoes to the pot and cooked for 10 minutes.
- Put few chipotles with some adobo, one guajillo pepper (seeded then steeped), the cooked onion, tomatoes and garlic cloves from the pot, more chicken base, and about a cup of the water from the pot into blender and mixed very well.
- In saut pan added a little oil and sauted some thinly sliced white onion for a few minutes before adding the blender liquid.
- After a few minutes add the pulled chicken to the pan and heat up.

I served by grabbing tostada and coating with sour cream, then adding tinga mixture on top, followed by queso fresca, fresh cilantro and diced tomato. Was so good. I'm not food photographer but here's the end result.

Dish comes from Puebla, Mexico. Really good dish to make. Sometimes you see it on the menu at places that serve authentic Mexican food.

Cool. I really liked it. Very unique flavors that my family and I aren't used to. I'm sure it probably is prevalent in the more authentic spots that I'm not accustomed to going to. Whenever I am at the more authentic places I'm usually getting al pastor or carnitas but i'll certainly keep my eyes peeled for tinga now as well.

Looks great. I'm glad the recipes worked for you. Those two channels have a lot of good food on them.

This might not be chicken tinga but I made it last night and it's ****ing delicious. This would make some awesome enchiladas. I removed the seeds from all the peppers so the kid would eat it. Had I kept the seeds from the jalapeos in it would have been even better.
