Quick, easy, and full of flavor. Shredded rotisserie chicken simmered in salsa and taco seasoning, loaded into warm corn tortillas with fresh toppings. A perfect weeknight dinner the whole family will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (skin removed, pulled into bite-size pieces while still warm)
  • 1/2 cup restaurant-style salsa
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 8 medium corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, to taste
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the salsa, chicken broth, and taco seasoning over medium heat. Stir together and bring to a gentle simmer.
  2. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and stir until fully coated. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the sauce thickens slightly. Add extra broth one tablespoon at a time if the mixture looks too dry.
  3. Heat corn tortillas directly over a gas burner flame on medium for 20 to 30 seconds per side using tongs, until lightly charred and pliable. Alternatively, heat in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 30 seconds per side.
  4. Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of seasoned chicken onto each warm tortilla. Do not overfill.
  5. Top each rotisserie chicken taco with shredded red cabbage, cheddar cheese, sliced avocado, a small spoonful of extra salsa, and chopped fresh cilantro.
  6. Squeeze fresh lime juice over each taco right before serving. Eat immediately while tortillas are warm.

Notes

  • Corn tortillas are traditional but flour tortillas work just as well – use your preference.
  • Shred the rotisserie chicken while still slightly warm for the easiest pulling.
  • If filling turns dry while simmering, add chicken broth one tablespoon at a time to restore moisture.
  • Keep heat at medium throughout – high heat dries out the filling quickly.
  • Any leftover shredded chicken can be substituted for rotisserie chicken.
