Instructions

  1.  Preheat oven to 450.

  2. Coat both sides of the tortillas with cooking spray (I use coconut oil spray). Stack and cut into 8 wedges; push into cups of standard muffin pans (see photo above). Bake 6-8 minutes, or until golden.

Make the guacamole:

  1. Mash together avocado, tomato, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and salt to taste; chill in the refrigerator.

Make the chicken:

  1. Simmer ketchup, brown sugar, chipotles, soy sauce, vinegar, chili powder, and chicken in a medium-sized pot over medium-low heat for 8 minutes or until sauce is syrupy.

Assemble:
