Slow cooker chicken tinga tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that are perfect for any occasion. The dish is made with ZeroPoint shredded chicken that has been cooked slowly in a mixture of tomatoes, onions, and spices, giving it a rich and flavourful taste.

  3. Meanwhile, combine vinegar and ¾ cup water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Add red onion and return the liquid to a boil. Immediately remove pan from the heat and let it stand until the mixture cools to room temperature. Drain the onions and place in a bowl; stir in ¼ tsp salt.
