Total time

25 Min

Ingredients

• 1-12 oz can chipotle peppers in adobo
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 4 flour tortillas, taco size
• ⅓ cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat a grill to medium high heat.
2. In a food processor, combine the chipotle and adobo sauce, garlic, white vinegar and olive oil. Blend until smooth then transfer half the chipotle sauce to a small bowl. Stir the mayonnaise into the reserved chipotle sauce and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken thighs with the remaining chipotle sauce. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
4. Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until their internal temperature reaches 165F. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes, then cut the chicken into bite sized cubes.
5. Heat a griddle over medium high heat. Lay the tortillas out and spread the chipotle mayonnaise sauce over one half of each tortilla, divide the chopped chicken between the tortillas on top of the sauce, then add on a layer of cheese.
6. Fold the tortillas in half to create the tacos. Place the tacos on the griddle and toast each side until the cheese is melted, and the tortillas are golden and crisp. Serve immediately and enjoy.
