Tal Levitas says:

When I buy a rotisserie chicken, I usually eat about a quarter and wonder what to do with the leftovers. This solves that issue and is a really easy fix. Moreover, I didn't realize I could shred chicken with the beater blade on my stand mixer (something I learned in the tip) which saved a lot of time. I'll be making these with leftover chicken for years in the future!

Laura Griffin says:

These are awesome! The cumin and paprika spice blend was perfect, I can finally throw out those old pre-mixed packets of taco seasoning. This is my new go to Taco night recipe!

Greg Jones says:

I loved this rotisserie chicken tacos! I wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. This is the perfect meal for weeknights or when you don't feel like doing a whole lot of cooking, but still want a delicious meal.

Leah M says:

We used an entire rotisserie chicken and it gave us a ton of meat, we got about 12 small-medium sized tacos, which was perfect for my kids. The only toppings we used were pico de gallo and guacamole. So delicious!

Erica Schaefer says:

We did chicken burritos instead of tacos and it was amazing. I even seared the burrito by placing the folded side down onto the griddle for 4 minutes on each side. Of course I had to top it with guacamole too! Rotisserie chicken is the real MVP!
