Time 33m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups rotisserie chicken (shredded, discard skin)
1/2 cup salsa
10 -12 tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • In a large heavy bottom saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper, stirring to combine.
  • Add the chicken and stir to coat with the spice mixture. If needed, add 2-3 tablespoons of water to help distribute everything evenly. Remove from the heat and stir in the salsa.
  • Serve tacos on warm tortillas with your favorite toppings! I highly recommend adding a spritz of fresh squeezed lime juice at the end.
  • Optional Toppings: avocado, cilantro, white onions, red onions, shredded red or green cabbage, fresh squeezed lime juice, jalapenos (the site won't let me put this in ingredients).

This recipe was found in Raley's Extra Magazine, a grocery store chain in Northern California. We usually use a Lemon Rotisserie Chicken, but I've made it with other kinds and it's always turned out really good.
