Mexican Tinga
1T Olove oil
1 large onion ( cut into rings)
1 15 oz. can stewed tomato's
1 7 oz. can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 tsp ground cinnamin
2 cubes Knorr chicken boullion
Crisp Iceberg lettuce leaves
Light sour cream
Directions
Sautee onions in oil on med heat just to "sweat" them, about 5-6 min. In a blender or food processor, add tomatoes, 2 Knorr chicken boullion cubes, 1-2 chipotle peppers (Very Hot) a little of the adobo sauce and cinnamin. Blend together. Place into a slow cooker. Add onions and chicken. Cook on high for 6-7 hours. Remove chicken breast, shred them using 2 forks. Place back into slow cooker and mix. Serve on iceberg lettuce leaves with a dollup of low fat sour cream. It's a little messy but SO delicious!
*Serving size
2 lettuce leaves filled with Tinga with 2 Tbsp light sour cream
* Makes about 6 servings
* I use 2 chipotle peppers because I love spicy food. You may want to try it with just one if you are not sure.
* You can also boil the chicken breast before hand, shred it and add to mixture before cooking. I just like to cook the chicken with the mixture for more flavor.
