Here is a recipe for Chicken Tinga from Mely Martínez
www.mexicoinmykitchen.com/chi...
I've used different recipes over the years but here's the way I went about it recently:
RECIPE
Chop up one large or two smallish mediumish yellow onions
Chop up a few cloves of garlic or more if you're feeling dangerous
Chop up two chipotle peppers or more if you're feeling dangerous
Sauté those things in a saucepan on medium until you get bored
Add broth, a can of diced tomatoes (or just go with crushed if you don't want to do any blending) or go with fresh tomatoes. You could use most tomatoes. Except evil ones
Add in a teaspoon of salt...but probably two
Add in some cumin if you feel like it (a couple teaspoons ish)
Add in some oregano, or Mexican oregano, or as they call it in Mexico,: orégano
Get that cauldron bubbling until you can feel the spirits fill the room
Add in 3 chicken breasts and simmer for 25 minutes
Take the pot off the heat and take the chicken breasts out and shred
Once the sauce has cooled enough use a stick blender to make it smooth
Add the shreds back in
Adjust the salt and cook it until it's a consistency you like
Make sure to fry your tortillas
Add some chicken, lime crema, avocado, cilantro, and cotija cheese

Looking out for your health and responsible drinking, what a hero.
He wants to make sure you're not too drunk to taste the amazing tacos
Being sober fucking rocks
Simply replay the video
It's for when you watch it the second time while following the recipe. Makes the cooking process much better
I might have mixed up "with the grain" and "against the grain" but you can think of it as "this way" or "that way"
thank you ysac very cool
What if we accidentally follow the sorry circumstance of doing it "the other way"?
You have mixed it up again. It should have been "that way" or "this way"
So should I shred this way or that way?
So.....the "2024 With The Grain" award is still up for grabs?
I love that he can-opened a pull tab can, then used the pull tab to take the top off. So thoughtfully comedic 😂
Dudes a genius 😂
if you liek that watch atomic shrimp's "weird stuff in a can" videos. He even explains why he does it sometimes. pull rings leave a rim where stuff stucks all the time so he just uses a can opener instead.
Could be that he just cut his nails or something too, those pull tabs are murder on freshly cut nails.
"Using a Can-opener on a Pull-Tab can" Had me thinking Darwin Awards. This guy hit's the spot every time. Hilariously entertaining.
@@AbigatorM beat me to it.
You had me at “using the least amount of pots”😂
Lost me with the prunes 😂😂😂jk
The amount of changes I will make to a recipe so that I can make it a one pot meal should win me the one pot meal maker award. 😂
@@lowbatterylifestyle7025 😂 I wish to live where I can just eat off the land year round😂
Easiest way to tell that someone cooks regularly without actually seeing them prepping a meal. 😅
YSAC opens a pull top can with a can opener, remembers to add the pull top sound when opened.
At YSAC, no little detail is overlooked. The big details? Don't worry about them.
Um excuse me what exactly do you mean by this whole big details thing?
@@yousuckatcookinghe said don't worry about it
@@TheBswan This comment feels oddly threatening
@@yousuckatcooking I like how you mentioned the boiling route, said you were going to address it later, and then never really did.
@@yousuckatcookinghow much broth did you use? I mean, I know “the perfect amount” is the correct answer because I saw the award, but do you have a measurement? How does 1 cup sound?
Congratulations, Mr. YSAC, on your award. The work you put in this year really paid out. We're all really proud of you and looking forward on your pot estimation career.
NGL that was the most epic pot size estimation I’ve ever seen.
Well deserved, it’s nice to see that some rewards committees are still fair!
Truly impressive pot size estimation. I would've overflowed that pot 9 times out of 10. So good to see such skill get the recognition it deserves.

As a Mexican my sacred duty is to comment "that's not the way we actually do it in Mexico!" on every video of an American making Mexican food but for tinga everyone has their personal recipe so this is spot on. You just won the anual tinga award 2024.
He won 2 awards in one video?!
It's crazy since there so much of 2024 left!
But YSAC is Canadian though.
@@tameyoshi5507Canada is still in America, as Mexico is, too 😊
This is by far my greatest achievement. THANK YOU! Does it come in the mail or?
"If that falls apart in my hand, I'm just going to eat my hand"
Thanks, I'll be using this as a message on my gravestone
this guy is the worlds best and most consistent youtuber and I hope he makes videos for the rest of his life (as long as he's happy with that)
Agree! Never a miss, always a hit.
You should check out futurecanoe, also a cool cooking youtuber
i was completely onboard with you all the way till i saw how you cut the avocado. i see you in a different darker light right now
It’s like how R2D2 would cut an avocado
Perfect phrasing on that 🤣
You already saw him in a darker light, but it's a different darker light now.
me too, wtf was that? 😂😂
@@g_auHe was joking.😅
@@stormyweather8798 I really hope so :)
"This has been in my cupboard for an unknown number of years" pretty much summed up my spice bin until last month.
what happened a month ago
@@ShapioWe dont talk about that.
The award was totally deserved, you may suck at cooking but not at measuring. I'm flabbergasted
Classic "smash it against the wall" works for me everytime, such a time saver😊
I won that same award last year! Congratulations on your pot size estimation Wizardry!
Have you gotten any sponsorships from it or anything, or is it largely ignored by the industry?
@@yousuckatcooking I got a really nice sports jacket…it’s plaid with elbow patches and is custom tailored!
That jacket sounds very professornol.
How dare you expose the secrets of chipotle peppers in adobo. The Mexican Flavor Council demands your presence at the next meeting.
Gonna be one tasty meeting...
What will be served this function exactly?
@@ZachPrime the menu is top secret, nice try op
Fun fact: this was one of the first things I ever cooked, and I'm pleased to say that after many years, I still suck terribly.
As a Mexican, I am proud that chipotle peppers are having their YSAC moment. Alsooooo.....there are chipotle peppers that come already diced that way you don't have to succumb to such manual labor 😉
😂
NEVER. I will only use fresh canned chipotle peppers
@@yousuckatcooking purist.
Something I love doing with my chicken tinga tacos is lightly toasting corn tortillas (idk I just like them better), then getting a preferably non-stick pan really hot and throwing in a good bit of pepper jack cheese to melt into tortilla-sized discs. Let the cheese get nice and melty, then when it starts browning you throw a toasty tortilla onto the cheese disc. That way it sticks to the tortilla and you get a cheesey crunch
Cheesy chicken tinga tacos? The madman.
The doubled tortilla is so when the first one crumbles the second catches it, making another taco. If we keep adding tortillas, we get infinite tacos.
i don’t think you understand how much joy your uploads bring me. i’ve watched this at least once a day since you posted it. please do more.
My GF roasted a turkey this weekend. I did this recipe as a quickie Monday night meal for the family and even if you don't cook the meat in the sauce, it's a perfect way to reheat poultry leftovers for an impromptu taco night!!!
I’m glad we got two recipes in one. Tina’s chicken tacos look delicious
Let it be known that I saw the thumbnail depicting Tina’s tacos and clicked it looking forward to those tacos and was mildly disappointed when I saw the real ones.
I rediscovered this channel after so many years. Your content was so ahead of it's time, I love this series.
This, as always, was amazing. I admire your dedication to your craft
i hadn't even prepared my pot size estimation submission for the 2024 pot size estimation awards.
your brand of humor never gets old!
5:05 is when he's talking about the boiling method, you might need to turn up your volume though.
Got ad rolled
This is hands down the best cooking show on the internet.
Just discovered your channel. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard at a cooking video. Chicken tinga tacos are definitely going in the rotation.
Im glad i was awake at 6:27 am otherwise i would have missed this video
Hawaii?
@@sam-dz4sj oops ment 6:27
@@Samsungsmartfridge19California?
@@walrusbyte263 ye
Ooooo... AI 'fridge! You can order the ingredients!! 🐓🌮🥑🥫🍅
I made this recipe two days in a row now. Yum!! Thank you for the inspiration
we usually eat these as tostadas with the shells that come in the yellow bag you can buy at any mexican grocery store or you can make at home if just feeding yourself. the crunch adds a nice texture to every bite that i think makes the tinga taste way better than in soft tortillas. like the channel and your humor. keep it up
I love how you went from an insane off-the-wall comedy show that had food in it, to an actual cooking channel with recipes! Absolutely wild and I love it! XD
I absolutely love making chicken tinga! As others have mentioned it's an easy one to do in the instant pot if you have one. If it ever ends up far too saucy leaving you with soggy tacos it's an easy thing to turn into a rice bowl instead for equal amounts of yum.
Looks delicious. Buen trabajo! Saludos desde Mexico 🇲🇽
These were AMAZING!!! Will do again for sure!
Youre vids always make me so happy 💚
I get unusually excited when I see a new YSAC video posted😊
Yes me too
SAME
You had me at tacos. ❤❤❤ 🌮 🌮 🌮
You are fabulous, as are your recipes. You are also humorous as well. Please keep on, keeping on.
Laughter and good food ane good bed fellows!!!!
Some people are born great, some people become great. I dont know which one you are, but your killing it dude!
I have always loved your videos. Especially the (totally not jump cut) magic. Made something similar a month ago and now your video = me making more tacos.
Man, it's hard to peak so early in the year. Guess it's all down hill......What? Another award!?! Congratulations, YSAC on your win for the 2024 First Award of the Year Award! Way to go!
Congrats on the award! There's already been such strong competition this year, but clearly is impossible to beat your entry this time
So I did this recipe this weekend and it was a hit! Thank you !
I love your videos and recipes!
This looks amazing!
Congratulations on such a prestigious award! Truly an inspiration to us all!
I’ve had this exact recipe in my paprika app for months and have never gotten around to trying it.
This has inspired me to finally making these
Congratulations on your award!
I thought I had it in the bag after I boiled the exact amount of water needed for my cup of tea but I can’t best chickeny saucy goodness.
I thought I had it with pasta that stopped just at the rim instead of boiling over. Should have known it was rigged by the chicken sauce conglomerate.
I love your channel, your videos are really great, Thank you
i love that i can not watch this guy for like, a year and a half, and come back and its EXACTLY the same bits and format. like its perfect. i love it so much
For a crunchy texture, garnish your tacos with thinly sliced radishes or pickled red onions. They add a refreshing crunch that contrasts with the tender chicken
I have been making this for years but I use Rotel instead of fire roasted tomatoes. Also I use my instant pot. Perfect!
how much broth do you use....he never says in the video
Those cans r dangerous. .do not run a fibget aroubd in opened can. OW
I use your instant pot as well my friend.
Congrats on the award. You deserve it!
Love your videos!💕
It was an honor just to be nominated
I appreciate the fact you've never learned how to chop things the way I see professionals do. Really allows me to think I could be just as good as you.
those methods are about three things: consistency, safety, and speed. if you get the first two with whatever way you chop, you dont have to worry about the last one bc none of us need restaurant speeds at home.
How the hell am I just finding this channel??? The commentary is top tier.
Congrats on your win
Wow I'm SO making this, looks amazing
wow i'm so proud of your for winning the pot size estimation award! love your vids!
Congratulations! I couldn't think of anyone who deserves it more!
WOOOO ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!
"Since there's so much of the year left". Cracked me up.
Cooking and comedy, what a combination, well done sir 😂😂😂
I clicked on this so fast! Always look forward to your videos. Stay awesome yall😁✌️
That looks fantastic
Fun Fact, 'Tinga' in tagalog (Philippines) is basically little particles of food left in between your teeth
Perfect for chicken tacos
That's funny, thanks for sharing!
Fun and a good recipe. Good food pairing.
Congratulations🎉🎉🎉 Awesome recipe
Love and chipotle from Mexico!! ❤🌶🇲🇽 =D
Thank you and right back at you 🧡
I like the way you cook, no fancy ..jus this and that,and some other stuff
I've been having these for lunch the last few days. These are yummy.
Everybody's so creative!
Oh wow, these look amazing and my household needs to try them.
Congrats on your PSEA!! Hurraaaaay Looks like a great recipe that shall be had. 🌮
I love that they award came on a screen. Truly the most digital of awards of all time.
Best channel, just the best
I had not even heard of chicken tinga until today. Looks good.
I'm so proud of your pot size estimation award! Living the wangle jangle dream!
They look Amazing...
Just made this, big success
Love it !!
Made this last weekend. O damn, so good.
Congratulations on the award! (That me me laugh out loud) Well done.
LOL. I love this show.
I made these, and they were the best taco's I've ever tasted.
chipotle peppers in adobo sauce is the best thing this world currently has to offer
Really great tacos on a really great day.
A+
I was wondering if you'd get some props in these comments!
I’ve been watching you for 6 years now and I’m almost an adult now. I clicked on your video thinking that this look really good so I’ll make it but I wasn’t thinking I would still enjoy your jokes and the video in general now that I’m older. I thought wrong, you still make me and a whole lot of other people smile still. Please keep doing what your doing!
My son showed me one of his videos a few weeks ago. I can tell you that even people who are nearly 60 enjoy the humour. For real.
I've been watching this channel for the past five years or so, and I'm 39 years old!
He is so bright. He will do amazing things..just u wait...
Hilarious and delicious as always
i have the cilantro soap gene and i dont like pickles... this dude is calling me out every chance he gets and i'm here for it.
He's definitely one of the soap-eating lizardmen controlling the cuisine government from the shadows.
I love your videos
Good finally found something tp use my penny shopping chipotle in adobo sauce peppers.
This looks delicious 🤤
Spoiler alert: it is
Never said chipotle again after saying to take a shot after every time he says it!
I'm afraid that might have been the nefarious plan ...
I'm mexican and i loved the way you prepared this recipe of Tinga
Wang jangle goodness ! Looks amazing
