This was dinner in about 30 minutes!  The mom of the friend said fo her Chicken Tinga, a great shortcut is to use a rotisserie chicken when short in time & this turned out so well!

Chicken Tinga
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup roughly chopped sweet onion
6 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped ( a non- spicy version, try 2-3 tspn ancho chile powder)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 cup  Mexican stewed tomatoes
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken 
For Serving:
10 (6-inch) corn or flour tortillas
2 ripe avocados, sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup crumbled cotija
1 lime, cut into wedges

INSTRUCTIONS
Sauce: 
Heat a large skillet over medium.  Once warm, add the oil and onion. Sauté for 4 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Stir in the chipotles, oregano, and cumin, and toast for 1 minute.  Add in the tomatoes, stock, and salt. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 7 minutes.

Blend: 
Place the tomato mixture in a high-powered or regular blender, let it cool before blending… and blend until smooth.

Chicken: 
Return the blended sauce to the pan over low heat. Add the shredded chicken, and cook for 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt if necessary.

Serving: 
Prepare the garnishes. 
To assemble, grill & then top the tortillas with the chicken and garnish with the avocado slices, cilantro, red onion, and cotija. Serve with a lime wedge for squeezing.

Lime Agua Fresca take the meal to the next level w/lots of fresh lime juice, sugar, and water!
