Are you looking for another way to feed the crowd on game nights? Well, these Rotisserie Chicken Tacos are a great choice! It is easy and quick to make and guarantees to make everyone come back in seconds!

INGREDIENTS

1 small rotisserie chicken, meat removed from the bones (you’ll want about 1½ lbs. of picked chicken meat)

2 c. salsa (you can use homemade or any of your favorite jarred salsa)

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp chili powder

½ tsp coriander

1 tsp ground cumin

6 tbsp vegetable oil

12 white or yellow 6-inch corn tortillas

4 c. shredded iceberg lettuce

8 oz. pepper jack cheese, shredded

8 oz. Monterey jack cheese, shredded

1 c. water

Toppings:

Avocado wedges

Sliced black olives

Thinly sliced red onion

Sour cream

Fresh cilantro

Lime juice

Sliced pickled jalapenos

How to make Easy Rotisserie Chicken Tacos

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 450 degrees F.

Step 2: Ready a roasting pan with high sides that can hold 12 completed folded tacos. Or use 2 pans with 6 folded tacos each.

Step 3: Place the salsa, water, and tomato paste in a large skillet. Stir and cook over medium heat. Then, stir in the coriander, chili powder, and cumin.

Step 4: Into the salsa mixture, shred the cooked chicken pieces and continue to cook until heated. When done, keep the chicken mixture warm.

Step 5: With half of the oil, brush two sheet pans. Onto the pans, lay our 6 tortillas each, and brush the tops with the remaining oil.

Step 6: Between the 12 tortillas, divide the pepper jack. Next, divide the warm chicken mixture and place it on top of the pepper jack.

Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges begin to get slightly crispy and the mixture is hot and bubbly. Halfway through even browning, rotate the pans.

Step 8: Take the pans out of the oven and immediately top with half of the lettuce. Fold one tortilla in half and transfer to the reserved dish/pan. Repeat until the tortillas are folded. Lean each taco next to the other so they stay folded. Then, turn the oven off.

Step 9: Top 12 folded tacos with Monterey Jack cheese and return in the oven (while it is turned off) for about 4 to 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

Step 10: Serve the tacos, hot with your preferred toppings such as sliced back olives, pickled jalapenos, thinly sliced red onion, avocado wedges, sour cream, lime juice, fresh cilantro, etc. Enjoy!
