What makes this dish stand out is its blend of ease, flavor, and the communal joy of assembling tacos together – a perfect activity for a weekday dinner or a casual gathering.

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta or cotija cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Warm the tortillas by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable.
2. In a medium bowl, season the shredded rotisserie chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Fill each tortilla with an even amount of the seasoned chicken.
4. Top the chicken with diced tomatoes, avocado slices, red onion, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
5. Drizzle a bit of lime juice over the top of the assembled tacos.
6. Complete the tacos with a spoonful of salsa and a sprinkle of your chosen cheese.
7. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.

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.
