Easy Spicy Chicken Tinga
6 portions
15mThe things you can do with a can of chipotles in adobo is endless! I love how easy this recipe is with the help of a rotisserie chicken. Serve with rice or make your own tacos! If you prefer less spice, just cut out a few of the chipotle chilies.

14.5 oz can Fire-Roasted Tomato or Canned Tomato
