Ingredients
For the Tacos:
- 12 hard taco shells
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/3 cup chopped red onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, can use store bought
- 2 cups shredded mexican blend cheese, divided
- 1 tablespoon cilantro
Toppings:
- finely shredded purple cabbage
- corn salsa
- avocado
- fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease with nonstick cooking spray. Place the taco shells in the prepared pan, standing up. Bake for 5 minutes so the shells can crisp up. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
- Add the chicken and BBQ sauce and stir until the chicken is well coated in the sauce. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheese and the cilantro.
- Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the shells. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the tacos. You can prop them up against each other so they stand up.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and top with cabbage, corn salsa, avocado or your favorite taco toppings!
