Tacos! Tacos! Tacos! Who doesn't love tacos? Let me tell you about these Rotisserie chicken tacos though because they are on another level! They are so delicious and the chicken is so moist and when topped with all the goods...I promise you will be obsessed after trying this recipe.
These tacos take 20 minutes to prep. Majority of the prep is because you start with a pre-cooked, store bought, rotisserie chicken and you have to remove all the meat from the bones. Once you have all the shredded meat in a bowl, add the salsa. Next, top the tortillas with cheese and the chicken mixture and pop in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
Once the edges of the tortillas start to turn brown, you can remove from the oven and add some more cheese and lettuce (optional). Then, fold each tortilla in half and place in a baking pan. Pop them back in the oven long enough for the cheese to melt and the tortillas to finish cooking (about 5 minutes).
The tacos pictured were topped with lettuce, salsa, and avocado, but you can choose whatever toppings you desire. Serve immediately while they are still warm. I used corn tortillas which I think works best with these tacos, but flour tortillas can also be used. If you make these Rotisserie Chicken tacos, please let me know!
