Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large, ovenproof or cast-iron skillet, heat oil, 2 turns of the pan. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, and brown evenly; remove to a plate. Add onions and garlic, and stir 5 minutes to soften. Add spices and stir a minute to toast spices. Add tomatoes, chipotle, beans and slide chicken back into pan. Cover pan and bake 30 minutes, covered, then return to stove; remove chicken to plate. Simmer the sauce until ready to serve.
Remove the chicken meat from its skin and bones, and shred it with forks then add to sauce. Add stock to thin if it gets too thick. Add lime juice to finish.
Heat chips in oven in large casserole to toast them. Top toasted, browned chips with cheese then with chicken and beans. Garnish with greens, sour cream, cilantro, salsa and jalapeño rings.
