Description

Adapted from the Wellness Kitchen


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half
  • 1 yellow or white onion, finely chopped, divided
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tomatoes, halved
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 16 mini 3″ corn tortillas
  • Organic canola or olive oil cooking spray
  • Shredded lettuce, Cotija cheese, guacamole, or pico de gallo for topping.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large pot, add chicken, half of the chopped onion, garlic, and enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cover with a lid.
  3. Simmer chicken for about 20 – 25 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and can be easily shredded with a fork. Remove chicken (save the poaching water), cool slightly, and shred the meat. Set aside.
  4. Add the tomatoes to the pan with the poaching liquid, and bring to a boil. Cook until the skins start to burst, approximately 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  5. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, add olive oil and the remaining onion; sauté until translucent. Set aside.
  6. In a food processor or blender, add the poached tomatoes and chipotle peppers. Puree until smooth. Add pureed mixture to the pan with the sautéed onions. Add the shredded chicken; heat through.
  7. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, and place the tortillas. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until tortillas are crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.
  8. To serve, spoon chicken on each tortilla and top with your favorite toppings.
  9. Enjoy!
