step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 5.
step 2
Mix half of the chipotle paste (2 tsp) with oil (1 tbsp). Place the chicken thighs (600 g) in a tray and rub all over with the mix.
step 3
Bake for 40 minutes until cooked, basting the chicken in its juices after 15 minutes.
step 4
To make the sauce, heat the remaining oil (1 tbsp) in a pan, then add the onions (2), season and cook on a medium heat for 10 minutes.
step 5
Add the remaining chipotle paste (2 tsp) – depending on how fiery you like it – to the onions and cook for 1 minute.
step 6
Add the chopped tomatoes (2 tins) and kidney beans (1 tin), with the water from the cans, to the pan. Add brown sugar (1 tbsp), if using, and season. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, uncovered, until thick.
step 7
When the chicken is cooked, remove the skin and chop it up, to serve in your tacos.
step 8
Shred the chicken using two forks. Remove the bones, then add the chicken and any juices to the sauce with the coriander (25 g), and mix.
step 9
Heat the wraps (8) according to the packet instructions, then load up with chilli chicken plus toppings like salsa (as needed), refried beans (as needed), lime wedges (as needed), rice (as needed) or tortilla chips (as needed). Top with the crispy chicken skin.
