Chipotle Chicken Taco

Dr. Sweetpea and I are both addicted to the chicken that is served at Chipotle locations. I looked at the ingredients online and created a recipe for our chicken tacos and it's the best that we've had!!!
Dr. Sweetpea asks for homemade chicken tacos all the time now because this is just so dang tasty!

Chipotle Chicken Taco Meat

2 pounds boneless/skinless chicken thighs
1 (7.5 oz) canned Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
4 - 5 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water
salt 
black pepper

Place the chicken thighs in a zip-lock bag. In a food processor, dump in the chipotle peppers with the adobo sauce, garlic cloves, oregano, and cumin. Puree the mixture until it's smooth and pour into a small bowl. Add the vegetable oil, water, sprinkle of salt and pepper into the chipotle pepper mixture and mix. Pour this mixture into the ziplock bag with the chicken thighs and use your hands to thoroughly coat the chicken with the marinade. I let it sit in the fridge overnight and grill it the next day. After the chicken is grilled, I cut the chicken into equal sized pieces to make chicken tacos.
