Tinga (Spanish:tinga de pollo) is aMexican dish made with shredded chicken in a sauce made from tomatoes,chipotle chilis inadobo, and sliced onions. It is often served on atostada and accompanied by a layer of refried beans. It can be topped withavocado slices, crumbled cheese, Mexicancrema, and salsa.[1]
Although tinga is consumed throughout central and southern Mexico today, it is presumed to have aPueblan origin. In recent years this cuisine has been expanding across the borders and can be found in most Mexican restaurants. Determining the exact place "tinga" originated is difficult due to the lack of sufficient records and information about the dish.[2]
In hisDictionary of Mexicanisms (1895), Francisco J. Santamaría defines "tinga" as a colloquial term to refer to something "vulgar" or "disorderly",[3] though he does not give the etymology of the word.
