How to Make Spicy Chicken Tacos?

These tacos are so easy to make – just shred some cooked chicken, mix it with the hot sauce, and serve on soft tortillas! I like to use a rotisserie chicken because it’s already cooked and shredded, which cuts down on prep time. But you can also cook your own chicken breasts in the oven or Instant Pot (here’s a great recipe for Instant Pot shredded chicken).

Once the chicken is shredded, just mix it with the hot sauce. I like to use this salsa verde tomatillo style hot sauce – it’s got a great flavor and just the right amount of heat. You can find it at most grocery stores in the Hispanic foods aisle.
