Marinate chicken by cleaning and cutting it into thin slices.

Add spices to the chicken and rub them in thoroughly.

Add minced garlic, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, chopped onion, white vinegar, and olive oil to the chicken.

Let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the marinated chicken in the skillet for 4 minutes on one side.

Flip the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes until done.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and cover with foil to rest for 5 minutes.

Chop or shred the rested chicken into small bite-sized pieces.

Heat a comal or skillet on medium heat and add queso oaxaca to melt.

Place a tortilla on the comal to melt the cheese onto it, flipping to crisp it up.

Repeat the process for all tortillas, adding a little oil to crisp them.

Place the crispy tortillas in a taco holder.

Stuff the tortillas with the chopped chicken, lettuce, pico de gallo, crema mexicana, queso fresco, and salsa de arbol.
