Notes

Increase or decrease spiciness by adding or removing some of the chipotle peppers. You can also serve on tostadas smothered with refried beans. 
If you are looking for more meatiness you can also make this recipe with shredded soy curls or canned young green jackfruit. Cauliflower is also really good stewed in the tinga sauce
