Category: On-the-Go | Ready in 15 minutes | Serves 1 adult or 2 kids | Naturally gluten-free
What You Need
- 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
- 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 chipotle chile in adobo, minced
- 1/2 avocado
- 3 tbsp sour cream
How to Make It
- Simmer the chicken with the tomato sauce and chipotle over medium heat until thick and glossy, 6-8 minutes; cool slightly.
- Mash the avocado with the sour cream and a pinch of salt to make the crema.
- Warm the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles.
- Spread the crema on one arepa, pile on the tinga, and close with the second arepa.
- Press gently and wrap in paper; the thick tinga and crema hold it together one-handed.
About This Recipe
Tinga is a Pueblan dish of chicken pulled through a smoky chipotle-tomato sauce. It's usually piled on a tostada — here the thick sauce doubles as the glue that keeps a travel sandwich intact.
