Ingredients

• Shredded chicken - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Onion - 1 medium, thinly sliced
• Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce - 2 peppers, minced
• Tomato sauce - 100 grams (no added sugar)
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Egg - 1 large
• Mozzarella cheese - 100 grams, shredded

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the sliced onion. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic, chipotle peppers, tomato sauce, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, mixing until the chicken is well-coated in the sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, egg, and a pinch of salt to form a dough.
6. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, press the dough into a round pizza shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
7. Pre-bake the pizza crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until slightly golden.
8. Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tinga mixture evenly over the top.
9. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the tinga.
10. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
11. Garnish with fresh cilantro before slicing and serving.
