Here's the recipe, and I followed it pretty faithfully where I could. The only subs I made was I used Mexican-style hot chili powder vs. ancho chile powder (here's a nice post about the difference), and I used less cumin to compensate.
As I was prepping dinner, I was not happy with some of the individual components of the dish. The poblanos, while prepped easily, came out tasting horrendously bitter, so I didn't use them. The guacamole, usually something I prepare well and enjoy, was a bit too citrusy for my tastes. The slaw was tasty, but had too much mayonnaise than my standard cole slaw recipe. The only thing I was really happy about was the spice rub for the chicken, which was a clever combination of chili powder, cinnamon, cumin, brown sugar, salt and pepper.
Honestly, Stephanie and I were
Like every dish that ends up being delicious, it was the perfect balance of sweet/spicy, warm/cool and soft/crunchy. I'd have stopped to take pictures, but it wasn't really photogenic, having chicken, guac, coleslaw and onions jammed and folded into a tortilla. Absolutely delicious, and highly recommended.

I really hate Bobby Flay and really wanted to dislike this recipe, but I have to say, I really liked it and want to eat it again. Damn you Bobby Flay!!!! (Although his burgers and shakes are amazing.)
