1 can (10 oz) Old El Paso™ Mild Red Enchilada Sauce
1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles, drained

1 cup sliced red onion
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese

Preparation

In 10-inch skillet, heat shredded chicken, enchilada sauce and green chiles to simmering over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook about 5 minutes or until heated through and chicken begins to fall apart in sauce. Remove from heat.
Spoon chicken mixture into taco shells; top with onion and cheese.

Expert Tips

Queso fresco is a creamy, white Mexican cheese that crumbles easily and can be found in the cheese aisle of most supermarkets. Shredded Monterey Jack cheese can be substituted as well.
For spicier tinga chicken tacos, substitute medium or hot-flavored enchilada sauce for the mild variety.
