MANGO CHICKEN TINGA

Tinga is a classic dish served throughout Mexico. It’s simply shredded meat in a red chili sauce of some kind. We’ve collaborated with Vianney from Sweet Life Bake (Instagram | website) to create this Mango Chicken Tinga dish. The sweet flavor of mango meets the smoky flavors of the chipotle to create a mouth-watering experience! If you don’t like spicy, use fewer chipotle peppers.
