  • For the sauce: roast the onion, garlic, and tomatoes on a griddle over medium heat until the skin turns dark. Once roasted, blend with water and chipotle peppers until well combined. Set the tinga sauce aside until use.
  • Pour enough olive oil into a clay pot or deep skillet and cook the onion over medium heat until it changes to a bright color. Then, add the cabbage and cook for at least 10 minutes or until it reduces by half.
  • Pour in the blended sauce, season with salt and pepper, and cook the cabbage tinga for an additional 20 minutes, as this will help concentrate the flavor better and allow the water released by the cabbage to evaporate. Once the time is up, serve the vegetarian tinga accompanied by fresh cheese, shredded lettuce, baked tostadas, and your preferred sauce.
