weeknight chicken tacos



How easy is this? Chop up a tomato, avocado, red onion, jalapeño and cilantro and set aside. I buy one of those rotisserie whole chickens already cooked. Peel off all the meat set aside in bowl. I use flour tortillas for this recipe. Throw them on the open flame on the stove, or the grill if you are inclined to fire it up. Both ways cook the tortilla very quickly. You won't have time to throw a load of laundry, go to the bathroom or update your status on Facebook. Just stand there and flip the tortillas over, oh, about 30 or 40 seconds on the flame.

Susie's recommendation is to salt and pepper your fixins before building your taco and to spread a thin layer of sour cream on the cooked tortilla. Add the chicken and the rest of the toppings. Spoon a dollup of your favorite salsa on top. I'm into salsa verde these days...you can get it at any grocery store. If you wanna skip the chicken, you can of course add in a sauteed veggie such as zucchini or even asparagus.
