Beef Tinga Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef chuck until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until softened and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a slow cooker.
• Cook and stir chorizo in the same skillet until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker. Add kidney beans and diced tomatoes to the slow cooker; fill an empty can with water and pour in over the beans. Stir in tomato paste and chipotle chile peppers. Pour in enough tomato juice to fill the slow cooker.
• Cook on Low until beef is very tender and sauce is thick, 5 to 7 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Pat meat dry and season with salt and pepper. Dredge pieces in flour.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat with the oil. Add meat and brown in batches until very brown; remove to a plate, add chorizo and brown. Add onions, garlic, cumin, oregano, coriander and let onions soften a few minutes. Add in stock, tomatoes, chipotle purée, honey and reserved meat to the pot. Bring to a boil and transfer to oven. Cook 1 1/2 hours, until very tender.
• Serve in shallow bowls with tortillas, lime wedges, queso fresco, jalapeños and onions alongside.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions; cook and stir until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, puree the tomatoes with chipotle peppers and adobo sauce to taste. Pour into the onions, and add chicken. Cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
• To serve, mound the chicken onto tostada shells, and garnish with a dollop of sour cream.
