Ingredients
- 1 3 1/2- to 4-pound rotisserie chicken
- 1 tablespoon chopped canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup part-skim ricotta

High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
