VMBURNS: What to do with a leftover rotisserie chicken? I decided to make tacos. I shredded the leftover meat and fried it in olive oil with a jalapeno and seasonings to give it a taco flair. The beauty of this recipe is that you can add whatever you want to your tacos. I don't like tomatoes, but I do like salsa (don't judge), so you won't see tomatoes in my tacos. I heated the chicken in olive oil, which I didn't include in the picture of ingredients. Also, when it came time to eat, I decided to skip the lettuce. I like my tortilla's grilled, but was too lazy to fire up the grill. So, I used my gas stove. These tacos were tasty and I would definitely do this again.

ICING ON THE MURDER
Influencer-turned-bakery-owner Maddy Montgomery has sold plenty of wedding cakes before, but before she turns one out for her and her fiancĂ©’s wedding, she’ll have to solve a little case of murder . . .
Aunt Octavia would be so proud! Maddy has turned Baby Cakes Bakery—named for her 250-pound English Mastiff, Baby—into a runaway success, and she’s marrying the love of her life, veterinarian Michael Portman. #DreamWedding! Plus the timing couldn’t be better: the country’s biggest bridal expo has come to New Bison, Michigan, and Maddy has secured a spot for Baby Cakes to showcase their cakes. She’s also entered a contest for an all-expenses-paid wedding extravaganza offered by world-renowned wedding planner Serafina.
Unfortunately, supremely nasty Serafina truly takes the cake—she makes the worst bridezilla seem like a shy flower girl. But there’s one thing the wedding planner didn’t plan on—being impaled by one of the skewers Baby Cakes uses on their tiered wedding cakes.
While Maid of Honor Sheriff April Johnson rounds up suspects at the expo, Maddy and her aunt’s friends, the Baker Street Irregulars, and even Baby join forces to unveil a killer hiding in plain sight . . . before wedding bells start to chime.
Looks delish Valerie and I happen to have some chicken in the freezer!
ReplyDeleteIt was quite tasty. :-) Gotta love tacos!
DeleteThe Easy Rotisserie Chicken Tacos sound delicious. Thank you for the recipe. I also like a small amount of refried beans on my tacos. And instead of salsa, for tacos we love taco sauce. We found a brand that we loved years ago and still use it. We have two bottles because hubby likes his extra hot. Me not so much. :)

I thought about refried beans. I've definitely done it in the past. I LOVE the taco sauce idea. I might give it a try. Thanks for the tip.
DeleteI like on chicken tacos, lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese shredded and avocado. Thank you Deborah
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I will definitely try this again.
DeleteHah! I'll skip the chicken and have shrimp on my tacos, please. Along with a bit of cheese, some shredded cabbage, a bit of cheese and avocado, served with jalapeno crema. Tacos are such a great summer dinner, thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteShrimp tacos are awesome. I might try some on the grill. So good!
DeleteValerie, that sounds delicious and a great way to stretch a rotisserie chicken. I’m with you on skipping the tomatoes but loving salsa (definitely no judgment!). I like mine with avocado if I have one around. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteIt was actually very good. Thanks for not judging! :-)
DeleteAh, the rotisserie chicken.
ReplyDeletegood vor multiple meals...unless you have a large family or a teenage boy!
LOL - I was going to try shredded chicken nachos, but ate all of the chips. Next time.
DeleteWhat a good idea! I like onions, cheese and lettuce on my tacos.
ReplyDeleteThose are my favs, too.
