Ingredients

Instructions

  2. In a medium bowl, season the shredded rotisserie chicken with salt and pepper to taste.

Helpful Tips

  • For a creamy element, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • If you prefer a bit of heat, include some sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Experiment with different salsas, such as mango or pineapple, for a sweet and spicy kick.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble tacos fresh for best taste.

Ingredient Substitutions

  • If you don’t have rotisserie chicken, use any cooked chicken or leftover turkey.
  • Flour tortillas can be used if you prefer them over corn.

Pairings

These tacos pair wonderfully with a side of Mexican rice, black beans, or a chilled cucumber and lime salad. For drinks, consider serving a refreshing limeade or a sparkling water with a splash of fruit juice.
