Fireworks Crunchy Chipotle Tomato Chicken Tacos
OMG! These are amazing! We chose corn tortillas, which, if my kids knew, they would have not wanted to try. After eating them, there isn't any doubt, corn tortillas make this recipe! Save even more time by using a rotisserie chicken.
This recipe takes about 20 minutes to prep and 30 to cook. You will definitely be making it frequently! It is that good!
Ingredients:
3 cups cooked, shredded chicken, skin and bones removed from 1 rotisserie chicken
1 1/2 Fireworks chipotle tomato butter burst
1 cup green tomatillo salsa or green enchilada sauce
1 small yellow onion chopped

1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
12 corn tortillas
neutral oil
Mexican cheese
Optional toppings:
shredded Iceberg lettuce
chopped tomatoes
diced onion
fresh cilantro
lime wedges

Preparation:
1. Heat oven or air fryer to 425.
