## Instructions

1. tenderize the chicken breasts on both sides using a meat tenderizer to break up connective tissue for tenderizing, even cooking, and better marinade penetration.
2. Generously season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and a good quality seasoning, such as Kinder's Carne Asada seasoning.
3. Rub the seasoning into the chicken to ensure it adheres well.
4. Place the seasoned chicken into a Ziploc bag.
5. Add a little bit of olive oil to the bag with the chicken.

7. Let the chicken marinate in the fridge overnight for at least 24 hours.
8. Heat a pan to medium heat.
9. Place the marinated chicken breasts in the hot pan to sear.
10. Cook the chicken for 5 minutes per side.
11. After cooking, remove the pan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the chicken sit for 10 minutes.
12. Once fully cooked, place the chicken into a KitchenAid mixer to shred it.
13. Return the shredded chicken to the pan to absorb all of the sauce from cooking.
14. Prepare the sauce by blending 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2-3 tablespoons mayo, 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (with some sauce from the can), juice from 1 lime, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
15. In a bowl, place the shredded chicken at the bottom.
16. Add cheese on top of the chicken.
17. Add diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and bell peppers (similar to pico de gallo ingredients) to the bowl.
18. Drizzle the prepared chipotle adobo sauce generously over the toppings.
19. Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.
20. Add a little bit more salt and pepper to taste.

## Tips

- Desh-carding or jacarding the meat helps tenderize it, cook more evenly, and allows marinade to penetrate faster, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
- Use a good quality seasoning and apply generously, covering both sides of the chicken.
- Cook chicken for 5 minutes per side, then turn off the heat and let it sit with the lid on for 10 minutes to ensure juicy results.
- You can customize toppings with ingredients like canned corn, canned beans, or avocado.
- The chicken reheats well, and if you cut all the veggies fresh, preparation takes only about 10 minutes.
- The chipotle adobo sauce is the most important ingredient and makes the meal.
