Preheat the oven to 200°F and wrap the tortillas in foil. Set aside.
For the onions
Add the lime juice and thinly sliced onions to a small bowl. Mixing them every so often, let them marinate until you're ready to assemble the tacos.
For the potatoes
Add the oil, chipotle powder, ground cumin and salt to a large mixing bowl and combine. Then peel and dice the potatoes, adding them to the oil mixture as you go. The dice should be approximately ¼ inch and you should have about 2¾ cups. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add half of the potatoes. Sauté the potatoes, stirring every couple of minutes, until they’re golden, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the second half.
Warm the tortillas
Place the foil-wrapped tortillas in the 200°F oven to warm them until you're ready to assemble the tacos.
For the slaw
In a small bowl, blend the Crema Mexicana with the lime juice, chipotles in adobo, salt and sugar. Then in a large mixing bowl, add this to the cabbage and carrots and stir to blend evenly. Set aside.
Assembly
You can either put all of the components out in bowls for everyone to make their own taco, or assemble as follows: Place the tortillas on a clean, dry surface. Then divide everything evenly among them, in the center of the tortillas, in this order: potatoes, slaw, lime pickled onion, tomato and avocado. (Or of course, in whatever order you like!)
