Cooking method:

Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix together the chipotle in adobo sauce, orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and leave it in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken (reserving the remaining marinade) and cook each side for about 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is done.
Prepare the tortillas: While the chicken is cooking, prepare your tortillas by warming them over an open flame or in the microwave.
Assemble the tacos: When the chicken is done, slice it into thin strips. Layer the chicken onto the tortillas and add the sliced vegetables. If you like, you can drizzle a bit of the remaining marinade on top.
Serve: Serve the tacos hot and enjoy!

Bon appétit!
