How to cook deliciously - Chipotle BBQ Chicken Tinga Tacos

1. Stage

Put chicken, 1/2 of the onion, and 6 garlic cloves in a pot. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

2. Stage

Remove chicken from the pot. Discard garlic and cooking water. Shred chicken when cool enough to handle.

3. Stage

Combine ketchup, beer, vinegar, jalapeno pepper, brown sugar, ground chili pepper, mustard, cumin, paprika, and salt in a bowl for sauce.

4. Stage

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining onion and minced garlic; cook until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over the chicken and stir until well mixed and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

5. Stage

Serve chicken mixture in tortillas.
