    In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Stir in the lime juice and salt, mixing well.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, minced garlic, and lime juice until smooth.

  2. 5

    Taste the aioli and add more chipotle if desired for extra heat.

Preparing the Tacos

    Heat the Tortillas

    On a griddle or skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
