Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

2 limes, juiced

1 orange, juiced

1/4 cup olive oil

1 chipotle pepper in adobo

3 cloves garlic

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts

24 corn tortillas, street taco size

1 small onion, diced

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Directions

Combine lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, chipotle pepper, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper in a blender. Blend on high until smooth.

Pour marinade mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken breasts to the bag; marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

Preheat a grill to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Place marinated chicken breasts on the grill; close the lid. Discard the marinade. Grill, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Remove chicken from grill. Let stand for 5 minutes; slice into strips.

Heat tortillas over a griddle on medium heat until tortillas are soft and pliable. Stack tortillas in pairs; divide chicken, onion, and cilantro onto each pair of tortillas.
