Heritage of the Dish

Karla Zazueta

Author, food writer and cookery teacher

Tinga is a traditional Mexican dish from Puebla, made with shredded chicken slowly simmered in a smoky tomato and chipotle sauce. It is a much-loved staple of home cooking and street food across Mexico, known for its bold, comforting flavour. Served on crisp corn tostadas, it reflects the simplicity and vibrancy at the heart of Mexican cuisine.

Hero Ingredients

Chipotle Peppers in Adobo

Chipotle peppers are ripe jalapeños that are slowly smoked and preserved in a rich adobo sauce of tomatoes, vinegar and spices. A staple of Mexican cooking, they bring a deep, smoky heat and layered savoury depth to dishes. Widely used in marinades, sauces and stews, they add instant warmth and bold, authentic flavour.

Totopos (Corn Tortillas Chips)

Made from authentic white corn tortillas, our homestyle totopos are cut and fried until perfectly crisp, then lightly salted for the ideal balance of flavour. Strong enough to scoop chunky guacamole and traditionally enjoyed with everything from fresh salsas to chilaquiles, they're a simple yet iconic staple of Mexican cooking.

Quesco Fresco

Crafted by a small artisan cheesemaker using traditional methods, our Queso Fresco is fresh, soft and delicately crumbly with a light, milky flavour. A cornerstone of Mexican cooking, it’s traditionally crumbled over beans, tacos and salads, where its gentle creaminess balances smoky chillies, rich sauces and vibrant spices, bringing freshness and harmony to everyday dishes.

Fresh Corn Tortillas

Made fresh daily in a UK tortillería using traditional Mexican nixtamalisation and corn imported from Mexico, these 12cm tortillas are ground into masa harina for an authentic flavour and soft, pliable texture. A true staple of Mexican cooking, they form the essential base of countless traditional dishes.
