What it is
Shredded chicken cooked in a rich, smoky sauce made from tomatoes, chipotle peppers in adobo, and onions. Typically served on tostadas or tacos, but easily adaptable as a protein-rich bowl.
Key ingredients
Shredded chicken, tomatoes, chipotle peppers in adobo, onions, garlic, chicken broth, olive oil, spices.
If you order it anyway
Request no tortillas, tostadas, or rice. Ask for it served in a bowl, perhaps with a side of avocado or lettuce for wrapping. Confirm no added sugar in the sauce (sometimes piloncillo is used).
Watch out for
Hidden sugar (piloncillo) in the sauce, served with high-carb bases like tortillas or rice, potential for thickening agents.
