Chipotle Chicken:

‍Corn Relish:

‍Assembly:

Begin by marinating the chicken. To a blender add chipotles in adobo, garlic, water, kosher salt, and optional avocado oil. Blend until combined and smooth. Add marinade to a large mixing bowl with chicken breasts. Massage the marinade into the chicken ensuring the breasts are evenly coated. Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
To make the corn relish, in a large mixing bowl, add corn, garlic, cilantro, shallot, and diced jalapeno. Season to taste with salt and stir to combine.
Begin to preheat a large saute pan set over medium high heat. Once hot, lightly grease with cooking spray or olive oil. Place the marinated chicken into the pan and sear on each side for 2 - 3 minutes. Once seared on each side, flip continuously until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165°F (73°C). Let the chicken rest for 3 - 4 minutes, then dice to get ready for assembly.
Set a medium non-stick pan that has been lightly greased with cooking spray over medium high heat. Once hot, add the tortilla, followed by shredded cheese. Place the corn relish onto the cheese followed by the chicken. Sprinkle a little more cheese onto the chicken to help the tortilla bind and cook on each side for 2 - 3 minutes.
