Ingredients
For the chicken tacos:
- 2 ½ cups shredded rotisserie chicken about ½ chicken
- 12 Crunchy taco shells
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
- ⅓ cup salsa verde or regular salsa
Toppings:
- Guacamole, sour cream, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, salsa.
Instructions
Prep the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375F and position your oven rack in the middle of the oven (if it’s too high your tacos could get too toasty).
Cup of Yum
Fill the tacos:
- On an oven safe 9×13 baking dish, line up 12 taco shells, vertically, so they're easier to fill. Fill with cooked chicken and top with cheese.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, the ⅓ cup salsa or salsa verde, and half of the shredded cheese. If the chicken is very cold, warm it up for a minute in the microwave.
- Fill the taco shells with the chicken mixture and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
Bake:
- Bake the filled tacos for 10 to 12 minutes until the taco shells are crispy and the cheese is melted.
Add toppings:
- Once the tacos are ready, load them up with toppings and serve immediately.
