  • Kosher salt
  • 2 jalapenos (or green chilies), finely chopped
  • 3 medium cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 2 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, finely chopped

Directions

  1. 1.

    In large saucepan or dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to turn golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add jalapeños, garlic, cumin, oregano, and cayenne. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
