 Categories: Poultry, Cheese, Citrus, Chilies, Herbs
      Yield: 8 Servings

      1 c  Hot water
           Salt
    1/2 ts Dried oregano
      3 tb Fresh lime juice
      2 tb Fresh orange juice
      2 c  Chicken; cooked, shredded,
           - warmed
      2    Chipotles in adobo sauce;
           - chopped, plus:
      2 tb Adobo sauce
      6 oz Medium Cheddar, Monterey
           - Jack, or queso Chihuahua;
           - grated
    1/2 md Red onion; thin sliced from
           - root to stem end
      8    Corn tortillas (6")
           Sliced avocado, salsa & lime
           - wedges; to serve

  Set an oven rack in the middle position; heat the oven to
  375°F/190°C.

  In a medium bowl, stir the onion, hot water and 1 ts salt until the
  salt has dissolved. Let sit for 5 minutes. This will soften the
  onion and lessen any bitter or harsh flavors. Rinse the onion under
  cold water and drain. In the same bowl, toss the onion with the
  oregano, lime juice, orange juice, and 1/2 ts salt; reserve.

  In a separate bowl, quickly toss together the chicken, peppers, and
  adobo sauce, making sure the chicken is completely coated. Season
  with salt. Cover and keep warm.

  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat (do not
  use foil or the cheese might stick). Arrange cheese in 8 equal
  mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Spread each mound evenly to
  about 3" wide, and space at least 1" apart. Bake until the cheese
  is bubbly and deep golden brown in spots and around the edges,
  about 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and place 1 tortilla over
  each cheese crust and return to the oven to heat the tortillas,
  about 2 minutes.

  Use tongs to carefully remove each tortilla with its costra,
  flipping each one onto a plate so that the cheese is facing up. Top
  with chicken, onions, avocado, salsa, and a squeeze of lime.
