CHIPOTLE CHICKEN TACOS WITH POTATOES AND GUACAMOLE
These get our vote for the world's most enticing chicken tacos. Grinding the chicken yourself ensures that it's moist and flavorful, but if you buy it already ground, look for dark meat. Sliced radishes and limes make the dish especially fiesta-ready.

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.
- Drain chiles, discarding soaking liquid, and add to blender with tomatoes, onion, garlic, chipotles with sauce, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cold water (2 tablespoons). Purée until smooth.
- Heat tortillas:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap 2 stacks of tortillas in foil; warm in oven while finishing filling.
- Boil potatoes:
- Cook potatoes in a 3- to 4-quart pot of well-salted boiling water until just tender but not falling apart, 5-7 minutes. Drain.
- Finish filling:
- Coarsely grind chicken in a meat grinder or food processor (or use pre-ground meat).
- 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.
- Serve chicken and potatoes with warm tortillas and accompaniments.
