1

Combine the lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, chipotle pepper, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper in a blender, and blend on high until smooth.
2

Pour the marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken breasts to the bag, then marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
3

Preheat a grill to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4

Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and close the lid. Discard the marinade. Grill, turning once, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5

Remove the chicken from the grill. Let it stand for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
6

Heat the tortillas on a griddle over medium heat until they are soft and pliable. Stack the tortillas in pairs, then divide the chicken, onion, and cilantro among each pair of tortillas.
