Ingredients

- 1 cup taco sauce
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Using a store-bought rotisserie chicken, shred approximately 1 lb. of the meat using your hands, or two forks for large pieces. Place shredded chicken in a large skillet.
- To the chicken, add 1/2 cup of water and heat over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is heated through and the water begins to simmer.
- To the steaming chicken, add the taco sauce and lime juice. Stir well to coat all of the chicken evenly. Heat over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes or until the chicken begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and serve in tortillas or a taco salad and all of your favorite taco toppings.
Notes
I highly recommend making the homemade taco sauce in advance. I usually make the sauce on a weekend, and store in the refrigerator. Once ready, the taco sauce can be added directly to the shredded chicken for a really quick meal.
The seasoned chicken will keep for up to 5-7 days, refrigerated in an air-tight container.
