I’ve been on a real taco thing lately. I don’t discriminate against tacos - all are beautiful no matter their shape, size, or fillings. Though, I do prefer them on the spicer side and I think most of you can agree with me there.

This taco is filled with rotisserie chicken, avocado crema, quick pickled red onions (courtesy of Bon Appétit), and topped with cotija cheese, a squeeze of lime and chopped cilantro. I also did added a nice dash of Cholula Hot Sauce, which is completely optional, but recommended.

In a simple few steps, you can have an easy lunch or dinner prepared in no time. And these babies BURST with flavor. Trust me.
