Steps:
- Pat the chicken dry. With a sharp knife, cut into 1/4" strips. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil and sprinkle over taco seasoning. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil has come to temperature, add the chicken and cook for 4 minutes. Turn each strip and cook for 3-4 minutes more. Remove the chicken from the pan, and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. If the skillet appears dry, add the last tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the onions and peppers. Sprinkle with Kosher salt and black pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
- Remove from the heat. Add the chicken back to the skillet, toss to combine and serve.

TACOS DE POLLO
These chicken tacos can be simple to prepare, with practice. They are VERY delicious and addicting. In Mexico they are usually served for supper but they make a wonderful light lunch also. This is authentic and made from scratch. The flavorful results are well worth the effort. The salsa and filling can be made a day or two ahead and refrigerated. To simplify things even more you can purchase a rotisserie chicken from the deli instead of poaching your own. Prep time does not include cooking time.

TINGA DE POLLO TACOS
Tinga de pollo, or shredded chicken, is a classic taco filling beloved for its flavorful sauce and simple preparation-in fact, it's a great way to use up leftover chicken! (Note: You may want to use tortillas from Chef Cámara's Homemade Corn Tortillas recipe on Panna.)

Steps:
- Poach chicken: In a saucepan, add chicken and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add 2 pinches salt, onion, garlic, and cilantro. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until opaque and cooked through, 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, make Tinga Sauce.
- Tinga Sauce: In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat until smoking, 2 minutes. Add the onions (you should hear a sizzle when they hit the pan). Stir until lightly caramelized, 20 minutes. Meanwhile, place tomatoes, peeled garlic cloves, chipotle peppers, and chicken stock in a blender. Purée on medium speed until smooth, 30 seconds; then add tomato mixture to the onions. Stir and simmer, 5 minutes.
- Remove chicken from poaching liquid. When cool enough to handle, shred by hand and add to Tinga Sauce. Check for seasoning, and add salt to taste (Chef Cámara adds 2-3 teaspoons). Simmer, 5 more minutes.
- Assembly: Divide Chicken Tinga evenly among the tortillas. Garnish each with an avocado slice and a sprinkle of sea salt before serving.
TINGA DE POLLO (CHICKEN WITH CHIPOTLE AND ONIONS)
Guadalupe Moreno runs Mi Morena, a tacos de guisado business in the Bay Area, where a number of saucy fillings and toppings are used to mix and match tacos to order. She shared her recipe for tinga de pollo with Leticia Landa and Caleb Zigas for their cookbook "We Are La Cocina." Ms. Moreno's tinga de pollo works perfectly in tacos and also on top of crisp tostadas with lettuce and salsa, inside quesadillas or as a tamal filling. It's a great way to use up any leftover cooked chicken (just skip straight to step 2), whether pulled from a roast or poached bird, or grocery-store rotisserie.

Steps:
- Cook the chicken: Combine the chicken, onion, celery and carrots in a large saucepan and add 4 cups cold water. Add more water if needed to cover the solids. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until the chicken is very tender and falling off the bones, about 45 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a bowl. When cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones, then pull the meat into very fine shreds. Strain the broth and reserve for Tamales de Pollo or another use.
- While the chicken cooks, make the sauce: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. While the onion cooks, puree the tomatoes, chipotles and garlic in a blender until smooth. Add to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken to the sauce and gently fold to evenly coat and heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately or cool to room temperature to use a filling for Tamales de Pollo.
TAQUITOS DE POLLO
Steps:
- To make the filling simply mix all the ingredients (minus the tortillas, skewers and oil of course) together in a medium bowl and set aside. To make the salsa, place all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until smooth. Should be a bit thinner than guacamole. Set aside. To make the sauce, bring a medium pot of water to a boil, remove from heat and soak the anchos in the hot water for about 30 minutes. Next stem the peppers and cut them open and seed them. Lay the opened pepper on a cutting board, skin side down and gently scrape the flesh away from the skin with a small knife. Discard the skin. (You don't have to remove the flesh from the skin; it will just not break down ad well in the blender) Now add the chile flesh and the remaining ingredients to a blender and puree until creamy smooth. Set aside. Now it's time to assemble the taquitos and fry them up. Heat enough oil to cover about 2 inches of a large heavy bottomed pot or skillet. Next warm the tortillas, 3 or 4 at a time in the microwave for about 10 seconds. This will make them easier to handle and less likely to fall apart. Now quickly stuff each of the tortillas with a couple of tablespoons or so of the chicken mixture and roll. They should be about 1 inch in diameter. Secure the rolled taquito by forcing it onto a wooden skewer. Tightly secure 2 taquitos per skewer. Finally insert the skewers, 1 or 2 at a time into the hot oil, angling them so that both taquitos are submerged and fry for about 2 - 3 minutes or until golden brown. Serve along side the salsa and ancho creama and maybe some poblano rice.
