Let's cook
Brown the sliced onion in 1 tbsp oil over medium heat, about 4 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, chipotles, adobo sauce and the whole chicken thighs with 1/2 tsp salt. Cover and simmer 18 to 20 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F.
Shred the chicken with two forks right in the pan and simmer 2 more minutes so it soaks up the sauce.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet and fill with the chicken.
