Prepare the vegetables
Roughly chop the tomatoes and onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Blend the sauce
In a blender, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, minced garlic, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
Brown the chicken
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.

Pour the blended sauce over the browned chicken. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to coat it with the sauce.

Warm the corn tortillas on a griddle or in the microwave until pliable.

Finely chop the fresh cilantro and dice the white onion.
