Our kit costs £1.75 and serves 4
- In a wide pan, heat half the oil for a minute on a medium high heat. Add the garlic and onion, and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Remove from the heat
- To make the tinga sauce, place the passata, water, sugar, white wine vinegar, salt, your Teaspoon Club spice packet, and the cooked onion and garlic into a blender and blend into a sauce. If you are using chipotle chilli paste, mix it into the sauce now too
- In a wide pan, heat the remaining oil for a minute on a medium high heat. Brown the chicken strips lightly in the pan, being careful not to cook them for too long, as they will slowly in the tinga sauce
- Pour in the tinga sauce and simmer the chicken for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and cooked through
- Remove the chicken from the pan and shred the chicken using a fork. Whilst you shred the chicken, continue to cook the tomato sauce slowly so it reduces to a thicker consistency
- Return the shredded chicken to the pan and cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes, until the sauce is significantly thicker and has blended well with the shredded chicken
- Assemble the tacos by spooning the chicken tinga onto the tortillas, adding your chosen toppings and a squeeze of lime juice
