Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Tacos

  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the chicken: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken along with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly heated.
  2. Warm the tortillas: While the chicken is heating, warm the tortillas in a separate pan over low heat or microwave them until soft and pliable, ready to be filled.
  3. Assemble the tacos: Place a generous portion of the seasoned chicken onto each warm tortilla.
  4. Add toppings: Top each chicken-filled tortilla with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Add a dollop of sour cream on top.
  5. Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
  • You can substitute the rotisserie chicken with shredded beef or black beans for a vegetarian option.
