Servings: 5 tacos

Cost: $15

Ingredients

  • 5 corn tortillas
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts shredded (half of the rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 cup pickled onion
  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 2 tbsps Mexican hot sauce I use Valentina
  • cojita cheese optional

Instructions

  • Layout the corn tortillas on a sheet pan on taco stands (see note below).
    Optional: If you want to char/brown them heat them up on a cast iron pan over medium-high heat for a minute or two on each side.
  • Since all the ingredients are either already cut up or pre cooked (like the chicken) all you have to do is arrange the taco to your liking. It's that easy, it seriously only takes 5 minutes to have everything good to go for your whole family.

Notes

Cojita cheese isn't easy to come across in the area I live in (I have never seen it) so I topped it with some feta and it was delicious.
These taco stands are awesome for keeping your chicken tacos upright!
