Method

For the Chipotle Aioli

  1. 1

    Make the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

For the Corn Salsa

  1. 2

    Prepare the Corn Salsa

    In a medium bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced red onion, diced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir until well mixed. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

For the Chicken

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a medium bowl, toss the chicken breasts with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

For assembling the tacos

  1. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Place sliced chicken in the center of each tortilla, top with chipotle aioli and corn salsa. Serve immediately.
