How to make Tlalpeño Chicken Broth:

• We start by gathering all the ingredients to prepare our tlalpeño broth. So, finely chop the onion, carrot, tomato and garlic. We will leave the avocados whole because we will chop them just before serving.
• The next thing will be to cook the chicken with the chickpeas and garlic when both the chicken and the chickpeas are cooked, remove from the broth and reserve separately.
• Shred the chicken and reserve.
• On the other hand we make a vegetable stir-fry. Then fry the onion together with the carrot for approximately 3 minutes, then pass the carrot and onion to the chicken broth and add chipotle chili, epazote and check the salt.
• Cook over low heat and covered for 30 minutes.
• After this time we can serve our tlalpeño chicken broth. To do it correctly, start by serving the broth and adding the shredded chicken on top, also add the diced or sliced ​​avocado and sprinkle with the cilantro and white rice.
• Present the lemon, the tomato and the chopped serrano peppers separately so that everyone can serve themselves as they like.
