I love to buy rotisserie chicken when they’re on sale or just when I can’t bear to make dinner that night. What I love even more is that one of those chickens feeds two of us, plus there are a ton of leftovers! So we get lunch and another meal out of one chicken. Once dinner is finished and the chicken has cooled off, I shred the rest of the meat. I put aside whatever will be eaten the next day for lunch and freeze the rest to use in another meal.
The leftover shredded chicken works great in soup and salads. But my awesome rotisserie chicken hack also works really well when making quick tacos! We could probably eat tacos once a week in this house. So last week, I headed to Walmart to buy the ingredients I needed to make chicken street tacos. These tacos aren’t like the crunchy, meat-filled tacos that might come to mind. They’re smaller than the average taco and served in a soft shell. Traditionally, they’re often filled with fish or pork and topped fresh ingredients.
This street taco recipe is so easy! I used small flour tortillas, a bag of Southwestern style chopped salad, shredded rotisserie chicken, and a can of Hunt’s Fire Roasted Garlic Diced Tomatoes to make the tacos (something I always keep on hand in the kitchen!). Then, I whipped up an easy sauce for my tacos using another can of diced tomatoes, fresh lime juice, the packet of ranch dressing that came in my bag of salad, and an avocado. It turned out to be really tasty so I bottled it up to squeeze it on everything!
Ingredients
- Small flour tortillas
- Rotisserie chicken, shredded (or leftover shredded chicken, warmed up)
- Southwestern style chopped salad kit, set Ranch dressing packet and other toppings aside
- 1 14.5oz can Hunt's Fire Roasted Garlic Diced Tomatoes, drained
- Sliced avocado, for topping
- Ranch dressing packet, from salad kit
- Juice from 1 lime
- 1 avocado
- 1 14.5oz can Hunt's Fire Roasted Garlic Diced Tomatoes, drained
Instructions
- On a small flour tortilla, add some Southwestern style chopped salad
- Next, top the salad with shredded chicken and fire roasted tomatoes.
- Top street tacos with street taco sauce and garnish with an avocado slice.
- Serve three street tacos to each plate.
- Blend all ingredients together until sauce has a smooth consistency. Pour into a squeeze bottle and use as topping for street tacos.
With the Big Game coming up, these street tacos make the perfect party food! They’re small, but filling bites to keep you and your guests fueled during game day festivities. Consider making a street taco bar so guests can top their tacos however they want!
I totally recommend using this rotisserie chicken and Hunt’s Fire Roasted Garlic Diced Tomatoes hack to save time and money for this recipe. One chicken will make a lot of these street tacos! Stock up on Hunt’s diced tomatoes and all of your fresh ingredients at Walmart!
Now that I’ve shared my easy recipe with you, I’d love to know: what is your favorite way to use canned goods and fresh produce in a recipe?
