Take extra care not to over-marinate or overcook. If your chicken breasts are extra-large, slice them through the equator to create fillets.
Use chicken breasts: Take care to pound the breasts to an even thickness before marinating. Hot Sauce or Chipotle Sauce: Pass around your favorite hot sauce or go with a drizzle of sensational Chipotle Sauce. It’s creamy, spicy, smoky, zesty and crave worthy!. Cotija is known as “Mexican Parmesan” because it is wonderfully salty, hard, and crumbly. It is traditionally found with the specialty cheeses and should be readily available. Cotija cheese: Consider a dusting of Cotija for a salty finish. Salsa: Go with traditional restaurant style salsa, or salsa verde. Bring to room temperature before serving. Use my homemade pico de gallo recipe or store bought. You can make the salsa ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Pico de gallo: This is fresh tomato salsa with a vibrant, punchy freshness. Guacamole: You have three options when it comes to guacamole: 1) simply pick up store-bought in the deli section 2) mash avocados with lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper or 3) go all out with my favorite guacamole recipe made with avocados, lime juice, cilantro, jalapenos, red onions, and juicy tomatoes. Chipotle chile pepper: is made of jalapeno peppers that are smoked, dried and crushed -so it’s not just spicy but smoky too! It is easy to find at your grocery store under any of the following names: “ chipotle chile pepper,” “ground chipotle chile,” or “chipotle powder.” If you don’t keep it stocked – you want to. Spices: Ground cumin, dried oregano, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and chipotle chili powder (detailed below) round out the warm, earthy, nutty, sweet, smoky flavors. Aromatics: Yellow onion and garlic add the pungent flavor. 
Orange juice: Freshly squeezed is best but a carton of pure freshly squeezed without any additives will work.Lime juice: Fresh is best, but bottled will work.
If you can’t find it near you, order it on Amazon here. It can also be found at any specialty Latin market. Achiote paste: This is typically sold in 3.5-ounce blocks in the ethnic or Latin section of your grocery store.Chicken: Please use juicier, richer tasting boneless, skinless chicken thighs.They are more expensive than the flimsy, dry, cheap packages BUT so worth it! You can also pick them up on Amazon here. You can find them at Sprouts, Whole Foods and at many major grocery stores. Freshly made or homemade corn tortillas are best or packages that say, “organic” or “made in small batches.” I love La Tortilla Factory Corn Tortillas. C orn tortillas: Corn tortillas are a must for that extra robust, nutty, sweet corn flavor.
