Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have chipotle chili powder, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of regular chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it will become dry and tough.
- If you don't have corn tortillas, you can use flour tortillas instead.
- For a spicier taco, add more chipotle chili powder to the chicken marinade.
