Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
2 tbsp Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Chicken Base
2 tbsp adobo sauce (from canned chipotles in adobo)
1½ cups shredded rotisserie chicken
½ cup lime juice
8 corn tortillas, warmed
1 avocado, halved, pitted peeled and sliced
½ cup pickled red onions
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup packed fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

  • 1

    In large skillet set over medium-high heat, combine tomatoes, 1/2 cup water, Roasted Chicken Base and adobo sauce; bring to boil.

  • 2

    Stir in chicken and lime juice; return to boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until chicken is heated through and sauce is thickened.

  • 3

    Assemble chicken mixture in warm tortillas with avocado, red onions, feta and cilantro.

Use store-bought prepared pickled onions for easy preparation. For homemade quick-pickled onions, toss together 1 sliced red onion, 1/3 cup vinegar or lime juice, and 1/2 tsp salt. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly pickled. Use crumbled cotija cheese instead of feta cheese for authentic Mexican flavors.
