Chicken Tinga

Tinga is a dish I had for my first time when I was visiting my close friends in Seattle.  Now, every time I'm in Seattle, I'm never wanting for delicious food, as they are all such wonderful cooks.  When perusing Pinterest, I stumbled upon a chicken tinga recipe and was immediately transported back to that dish I first had in Seattle.  Roger made his with some very nicely slow-cooked pork, but because we don't often have pork here, I was quite excited to find a recipe with chicken.  This is the quicker version of tinga, but it's no less flavorful.

Tinga is traditionally some sort of shredded meat (pork, beef, or chicken) in a smoky chipotle tomato sauce.  It's eaten on a tostada with sour cream, lettuce, and cheese.  The sour cream is totally necessary to counter the spiciness of the sauce.
