1 cup boiling water
1/2 pound small (about 2" diameter) tomatoes
1 (1/2"-thick) slice from middle of a large white onion
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo, including some of adobo
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons cold water
12 fresh corn tortillas
1 (1/2-pound) Yukon Gold potato, peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes

Steps:

  • Begin filling:
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Soak ancho chiles in boiling water (1 cup), 5 minutes.
  • While chiles soak, broil tomatoes, onion slice, and garlic on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet 3"-4" from heat, turning once, until lightly charred, 5-7 minutes.

  • Heat oil in a 12" heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add chile purée (it will splatter) and cook, stirring, 4 minutes (sauce will thicken).
  • Add ground chicken and cook, stirring and breaking up clumps, 1 minute. Cover skillet and reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes.
  • Gently stir in potatoes and reheat.

  • Use a food processor or blender to make the guacamole. This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the avocado with a fork. Just be sure to mash it until it is very smooth.
  • Use fresh ingredients for the guacamole. This will help to ensure that the guacamole has the best possible flavor.
  • If you are using frozen chicken thighs, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking. You can thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or by placing them in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
  • Cook the chicken thighs over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken thighs are cooked all the way through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with the guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. You can also add other toppings, such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, or chopped cilantro.
