Ingredients

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (10 ounce) container chipotle salsa, divided
¼ cup frozen corn
3 tablespoons chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

Place chicken breasts in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover the pot, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until cooked through and no longer pink in the centers, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and let cool for 15 minutes. Discard cooking water.
Shred cooled chicken with your fingers or 2 forks.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shredded chicken, 2/3 of the salsa, corn, onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro; bring to a simmer. Cook until heated through, about 15 minutes. Spoon into tortillas and top with remaining salsa.
