1. Shred and Season the Chicken

First, remove the skin and bones from the rotisserie chicken. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Toss the shredded chicken with taco seasoning, a squeeze of lime juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. This simple step adds layers of flavor and ensures the meat stays moist.

2. Warm the Tortillas

Heating your tortillas is essential for soft, pliable tacos. Here are a few methods:

• On the Stove: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds per side. This gives them a slight char and enhances their flavor.
• In the Microwave: Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
• In the Oven: Stack tortillas, wrap them in foil, and heat at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.

3. Assemble the Tacos

Once your tortillas are warm, it’s time to build your tacos. Start with a generous portion of seasoned chicken as the base. Next, layer on your favorite toppings, such as fresh lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and sour cream. For an extra burst of flavor, add guacamole, pickled onions, or a drizzle of hot sauce.

4. Finish with Unique Toppings

Elevate your tacos with these creative toppings:

• Pickled Onions: Add tangy sweetness and a pop of color.
• Sliced Jalapeños: For those who love a spicy kick.
• Queso Fresco or Cotija Cheese: Crumbly Mexican cheeses that add authenticity.
• Fresh Cilantro: A bright, herbal garnish that ties the flavors together.
