Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.  Cook for 4-5 minutes until onion begins to soften.  Add tomatoes, chipotle chilies, garlic salt, and cumin.  Simmer for 6-7 minutes.  
  2. Transfer the tomato mixture to a blender and blend the tomato mixture in a blender just until pureed. Return to pan and toss with shredded chicken. Check for seasoning and add salt, if needed. 
  3. Warm the corn tortillas. Fill corn tortillas with chipotle chicken and top with Mexican cotija cheese, cilantro, and avocado. A sprinkle of lime adds a fresh flavor. May use guacamole instead for more robust flavor.
