Steps

1 hour 30 minutes

1

Toast the chiles without burning them, then soak them in hot water until they soften. In a blender, blend the spices, then add the chiles and vinegar and blend until smooth.
2

Marinate the chicken with the sauce, add salt to taste, and let it rest for 4 hours. Refrigerate if possible.
3

Place a wrapper down, add a chicken leg quarter, an avocado leaf, nopales, and sliced onion. Carefully tie it closed with kitchen twine. Fill a steamer with water, bring to a boil, and place the mixiotes inside. Steam until cooked through. Serve with rice.
