Chicken tinga, flautas, chicken sopes, Mexican chicken recipes are very varied and can work very well for celebrating this September 15th, which won't be like previous years.So maybe your menu won't be the same either and there's no need to prepare a large pot of pozole, but rather an easy and practical chicken stew, but above all, very Mexican.To give you some ideas, you can use these recommendations for Mexican chicken recipes that work well for any day of the week, but also for this special day of taquiza or family meal.Aztec cakeThe Aztec cake is like Mexican lasagna. It is a very practical dish because it is prepared in a baking dish and consists of layers of tortilla filled with chicken, poblano strips, corn kernels, onion, cheese, and a tomato sauce.Preparing it will take you no more than 45 minutes, and it's a Mexican chicken recipe that serves up to 8 people.Stuffed chili with tingaStuffed chilis are typical of the patriotic festivities season, but not everyone likes chiles en nogada, or not everyone has the patience and time to prepare them, so another way to enjoy stuffed chilis on September 15th is to make them with chicken tinga.Prepare a chicken tinga as you normally would (if you've never made it, see the recipe here) and simply fill your poblano chilis with it. To accompany them, you can prepare a creamy chipotle sauce with cream cheese, cream, garlic, evaporated milk, and chipotle; you will love the result.Homemade chicken mixiotesMixiotes are usually made with ram meat, but you can also make a more economical version with chicken. It consists of meat cooked in steam in avocado leaves with an achiote marinade, resulting in a very tender dish.For a homemade version, you can make the marinade with guajillo, ancho chili, tomatillo, and spices, and instead of wrapping it in penca or avocado leaves, you can use wax paper.Enfrijoladas with chicken and chorizoMaking enfrijoladas is an ideal way to make use of the food we usually have at home, such as tortillas, beans, and chicken. This recipe is very simple, and the flavor that chorizo adds makes all the difference.What other Mexican chicken recipe do you think of to celebrate or to give you ideas for a delicious Mexican menu?
