Notes

For the shredded chicken I recommend using my super easy 3 ingredient crock pot shredded chicken breast or my simple instant pot shredded chicken. If you prefer you can also use shredded rotisserie chicken and add ½ a cup of salsa and 2 tablespoons of chicken taco seasoning. This recipe works well with regular-size corn tortillas as well. You'll know the tacos are done when they're nice and crispy on the outside and the cheesy chicken filling is warmed through on the inside.
