For the Chicken Tinga:

- 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (14 oz.) diced tomatoes
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Chipotle Tomato Sauce:

- 1 can (14 oz.) crushed tomatoes
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Enchiladas:

- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
To start, cook the chicken in a large pot with onion, garlic, diced tomatoes, chipotle peppers, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper until the chicken is tender and can be easily shredded. Once the chicken is cooked, shred it and set it aside.
Next, make the chipotle tomato sauce by combining crushed tomatoes, chipotle peppers, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.
To assemble the enchiladas, preheat the oven to 350°F. Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet until they are soft and pliable. Spoon some of the chicken tinga onto each tortilla, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour the chipotle tomato sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
