Wash and dry all produce. Cut @potatoes{2%medium} into ½-inch-thick wedges. Quarter @lime{1%unit}. Thinly slice @jalapeño{1%unit} into rounds, removing ribs and seeds if you prefer less heat.

Toss potatoes on a #baking sheet{} with a drizzle of @cooking oil{2%tbsp}, 1 tsp @southwest spice blend{1%tbsp}, @salt{1%tsp}, and @black pepper{½%tsp}. Roast on top rack until golden brown and crispy ~{20%minutes} to ~{25%minutes}.

Meanwhile, in a #small bowl{}, combine jalapeño, juice from half the lime, ¼ tsp @sugar{1%tbsp}, and a pinch of salt. In a #medium bowl{}, combine @coleslaw mix{3%cups}, half the @smoky red pepper crema{4%oz}, and as much remaining lime juice as you like. Season with salt and pepper.

When potatoes have about ~{5%minutes} remaining, halve @potato buns{2%unit}. Toast in oven until golden ~{3%minutes} to ~{5%minutes}. Brush cut sides with melted butter first for extra richness.

While buns toast, heat a drizzle of oil in a #medium pan{} over medium heat. Add remaining southwest spice blend and stir until fragrant ~{30%seconds}. Stir in @bbq pulled chicken{10%oz} and as much pickling liquid from jalapeño as you like. Stir until warmed through ~{2%minutes} to ~{3%minutes}.

Fill potato buns with BBQ pulled chicken, slaw, and as much pickled jalapeño as you like. Divide between plates and serve with potato wedges, any remaining slaw, and remaining smoky red pepper crema on the side.
