Steps:
- Place chicken in a saucepan over medium heat with enough water to cover by 1 inch (3 cm).
- Add the smashed garlic and cloves. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 12-15 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot, cool slightly, then shred with two forks.
- Place a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, until smoking.
- Add the tomatoes and roll slowly around until blackened on all sides, about 6 minutes.
- Add the seared tomatoes to a blender with chipotle peppers, chicken stock, cumin, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onions, and chorizo. Cook 2-3 minutes until the onions have softened and the chorizo has rendered a little fat.
- Add the lettuce and sauté 2-3 additional minutes, until softened.
- Add the tomato-chili mixture and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to incorporate.
- Add the shredded chicken and bring mixture to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until most of the liquid has cooked off, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve on warm corn tortillas with sliced avocado.
- Enjoy!
