Green Chili Chicken Tacos made with the convenience of rotisserie chicken, creamy green sauce, stuffed into crunchy shells and topped with melty cheese.
Ingredients
- 5 cups chopped rotisserie chicken (one whole chicken)
- 1/2 cup yellow onion finely chopped
- 1/2 block cream cheese (4oz)
- 2 oz diced green chiles
- 8 oz salsa verde (3/4 cup)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 12 hard shell tacos
- 2 cups monterey jack cheese
Let's Make It
- Start by chopping your rotisserie chicken into cubes, I like to leave some of the skin on.
- In a large pan over medium high heat, cook down the onion until translucent.
- Add in the chicken, salsa verde, green chiles, cumin, salt, garlic, lime juice + cream cheese, stir until the cream cheese is melted. Once the cream cheese is melted, add in the cilantro and stir.
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- Stuff 12 hard shell tacos with the chicken mixture + a handful of cheese. Lay the tacos flat on a large baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Bake the tacos at 400℉ for 10-15 minutes or until the shells are browned and the cheese is melted.
- Serve with a side of salsa verde + your favorite toppings- I like sour cream and guacamole.
