For the dough: place the corn dough in a bowl, add a little water as needed, add a little salt and knead to incorporate. Set aside. For the tinga: Blend the chipotle, tomato, onion, and garlic for 2 minutes or until you obtain a smooth sauce. Sauté the onion in a skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes or until soft, add the chicken, pour in the sauce, and cook over low heat for another 10 minutes. Set aside. To assemble the machete: place a ball of dough weighing approximately 200 grams on a plastic bag and cover with the same. Use a rolling pin to flatten and form an oval measuring 40 cm long and 1 mm thick. Cook the elongated tortilla on a griddle over medium heat for 5 minutes, fill it with the chicken tinga, add a little lard, and brown for another 2 minutes. Serve your quesadilla with green sauce.
