For the Tinga de Pollo, fry the onion strips over medium heat until translucent. Meanwhile, quarter the tomatoes and grind them in a blender together with the chipotles, salt and a little water. Depending on your preference, you can use more or less chipotles. Now add the mixture to the onions in the pan and simmer for about seven minutes and then let cool.
5. While the chicken breast and tinga de pollo are simmering on the stove, you can cut the lettuce into thin strips.
6. After the chicken breast is cooked, take it out of the water, let it cool down and cut it into small pieces. Now add the chicken breast to the tomato sauce and the Tinga de Pollo is ready.
