2 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces
¼ cup Mazola® Corn Oil
3 cups roughly chopped onion
5 plum tomatoes, cored and chopped
2 individual chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (or more to taste), finely chopped (from a 7-ounce can)

These tacos were just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the sauce was a little bland. I wouldn't make them again.
