A quick and easy recipe combining juicy rotisserie chicken with a bright, tangy mango salsa, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (skin removed or kept for extra crispiness)
  • 1 large ripe mango, diced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas, warmed before serving
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, crumbled queso fresco, sour cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mango salsa by peeling and dicing the mango into small cubes. Finely chop the red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Combine all in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add lime zest and juice to the bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
  3. Remove skin from the rotisserie chicken if desired, then shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and warm each tortilla for 20-30 seconds per side until soft and pliable. Keep tortillas wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to stay warm.
  5. Assemble tacos by placing shredded chicken on each tortilla, topping with mango salsa and optional toppings like avocado or queso fresco.
  6. Serve immediately while chicken is juicy and salsa is fresh.

Notes

For best results, shred chicken while warm to keep it juicy. Use lime zest for added brightness in the salsa. Warm tortillas properly to avoid breakage. Optional: add smoked paprika to chicken for a smoky flavor.
