Ingredients:

• 4 Chicken thighs
• 2 Tbsp Ancho chile powder or other chili powder
• 1 Tbsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp mesquite wood chips for a Camerons smoker
• 6 flour tortillas (whole wheat preferred)
• Salsa verde (see below)
• Pickled radishes (see below)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 bunch of cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime cut into 6 wedges

Directions:

1. Mix the dry spices together in a large bowl then rub into the chicken thighs to coat. Gently loosen the fat layer without tearing it to spread the mix between the fat and the meat of the thigh.
2. Place thighs bone-side down on the rack inside a Camerons smoker with plenty of space between them. Slide the lid on until its almost closed and place on a mid-size eye on your stove. Turn the eye on high. When you see wisps of smoke, fully slide the lid closed and smoke for 40 minutes or until the interior of the thigh registers 165F.
3. Remove thighs from the Camerons smoker to a plate and gently cut the skins off each thing. Cover the thighs with aluminum foil while they rest.
4. Grill the spice rubbed skins on a cast iron skillet at medium heat until crispy on both sides. Remove thighs to a plate to cool.
5. Use two forks to shred the meat from the chicken thighs. Cover to keep warm.
6. Use the same iron skillet to grill one side of the tortillas until the top side begins to puff slightly. remove the tortilla to a plate. Plate grilled side up and dress with chicken, warmed salsa verde, sour cream, pickled radishes, cilantro and wedge of fresh lime. Serve with grilled chicken skin crisps and black beans.
