Directions

  1. 1To start our marinade, add chipotles in adobo, garlic, oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, oregano, and cumin to a food processor.
  2. 2Give this marinade a quick pulse.
  3. 3Smother the beautiful boneless chicken thighs with the marinade. Make sure every crevice gets love and you marinate until you lose patience.
  4. 4This marinade is great for pan frying or grilling outside, but the key is to get a really nice sear. Those crispy edges are exactly what you're looking for.
  5. 5After they rested, just chop them into small cubes.
  6. 6On a generously oiled flat top, get some beautiful corn tortillas, then get generous with your cheese.
  7. 7As that melts, the half side gets chicken.
  8. 8To get them crispy, we're just going to fold and toast.
  9. 9To make them perfect, I'm going to hit them with a little bit of tomato, some fresh lime, spicy al pastor sauce and finally some lettuce.
