  * Use Heritage Big Jim chiles if you can find them. Or, make up
    the heat factor by subbing in jalapeno or serrano chiles to
    taste. This stew should be spicy but not overwhelming. --UDD

  Season chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in
  a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Dredge
  chicken in flour and shake off excess. Brown chicken well on both
  sides, then remove and set aside.

  Add onions to pot, season lightly with salt and cook, stirring,
  until softened and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic
  and cumin, and cook for 1 minute. Then add chopped chiles and
  chicken stock and bring to a boil.

  Return chicken to pot; reduce heat to a brisk simmer, and cook,
  covered with lid ajar, for 30 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots and
  cook for 20 to 25 minutes more, until vegetables are soft but not
  falling apart.

  Skim fat from surface of sauce. Taste for seasoning and adjust
  salt. For a thicker sauce, add dissolved corn starch and stir well.
  Cook for 1 minute more.

  Serve in deep wide soup plates with plenty of sauce. Sprinkle with
  chopped cilantro. Serve with warm tortillas and lime wedges.
