Preparation:

Step 1
• Combine lime juice, garlic, and chipotle peppers in a medium bowl; season with salt. Add the chicken, toss well to coat, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove the chicken from the marinade; thread onto 4 12-inch skewers lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
Step 2
• Preheat the grill to medium heat. Spray the tortillas with cooking spray. Place the tortillas on the grill and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 1 to 2 minutes per tortilla.
Step 3
• Meanwhile, place the chicken and whole tomatillos on the grill; cook, turning frequently, until browned and the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skewers.
Step 4
• Coarsely chop the tomatillos, drizzle with oil, and season with salt to taste. Divide the toasted tortillas among plates; top generously with lettuce, tomatillos, chicken, and queso fresco. Serve with onions, cilantro sprigs, and a lime wedge, if desired.
