1. Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towel, spray the skin with canola oil and season it with the Mexican seasoning.
2. Set the smoker up for indirect cooking at 225°F.
3. Smoke the turkey at 225°F for 1 hour, then raise the heat to 300°F and continue until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on a probe thermometer.
4. Loosely cover the turkey with foil and let it rest at room temperature.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, add the chopped onion and cook 2 to 3 minutes until soft. Add the minced garlic and cook 2 to 3 minutes more.
6. Add the oregano, cumin and chopped chipotle peppers and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add the fire-roasted tomatoes, chicken broth and salt.
7. Bring to a simmer and reduce for 5 to 7 minutes, then blend in a food processor until smooth.
8. Shred the turkey into a cast iron pot, add the sauce and toss gently to coat.
9. Place the uncovered pot on the smoker for 30 minutes. Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm them on the smoker for the last 5 minutes.
10. Lay out the tortillas, fill with the shredded turkey and top with the jalapeño lime slaw, cotija, pickled red onion or other toppings.
