When trying to get creative with the ever-so-boring chicken, utilizing new or unknown ingredients can be the only way to go. Chipotle Chilies are smoked Jalapenos and delicious in almost anything, even mixed with sour cream for a creamy salad dressing. As spicy as jalapenos can be, the smoking of them can reduce the bite a little bit. The Adobo sauce they are combined with, typically, in the can is deliciously sweet and can balance out the spicy-ness, leaving the smoky jalapeno delectably savory and edible for this gringa (white girl)! If you like heat but never tried chipotle chilis, taste it and add as many as you want to the marinade. I didn't blend the ingredients but thinking back, that might have been a great idea!
Yummy Chipotle Chicken that you can use for tacos, burritos or salad.

Marinate chicken in chilis, juice, oil & salt for 30 minutes to 1 day.

As you can see below, I make American tacos, versus the typical Mexican taco with onion, cilantro and salsa.
