15Taco night just got easier.
Shredded chicken and scallions hit a hot skillet, then get simmered with green chili salsa (or taco sauce if that’s your speed) until everything is bubbly and saucy.
Scoop it into crunchy taco shells, pile on the cheddar, and let everyone top their own with lettuce, diced tomato, sour cream, and guacamole.
This is the kind of weeknight dinner that takes almost no effort but still gets the whole table excited.
Kitchen Tips
- Green chili salsa gives a brighter, more herbaceous flavor; regular taco sauce works for a milder, smokier option
- Leftover rotisserie chicken is your best friend here for zero-effort shredded meat
- Set out all the toppings in small bowls and let everyone build their own for a fun, hands-on dinner
Ingredients

Sauté the onion in the shortening until transparent. Add the chicken, green chili salsa or taco sauce and salt to taste. Heat to boiling.
Prepare shells according to package directions.
Put two tablespoons of the chicken mixture and one tablespoon of grated cheese in each shell.
