Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 can Red Gold Petite Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies 14.5 oz
- 1 lime, juiced
- rotisserie chicken, cut into 1 inch pieces and shredded (leftover rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 can black beans 15 oz
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 36 Street Taco Corn Tortillas
1 jar Red Gold Mild Salsa 15.5 oz, or medium or hot flavor
Instructions
Step one
Preheat oven to 200° F. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean up and set aside.
Step two
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet. Add onion and garlic, cook for 2-3 minutes until onions are beginning to soften. Season with salt and pepper. Add the diced tomatoes and green chilies. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook about 3-4 minutes to reduce the liquid. Remove from heat, add the fresh lime juice.
Step three
In a large bowl add the shredded chicken, beans, fresh chopped cilantro, the tomato mixture and shredded cheese. Mix gently with a rubber spatula until thoroughly combined.
Step four
In 12-inch skillet heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Place 1 rounded tablespoon of chicken filling on 1/2 of a tortilla and flatten so that it covers out to the edges. Place 4 tortillas in the skillet and allow to heat for about 15 seconds to soften. Fold tortilla in half covering filling, press top down firmly. Fry until golden brown (1-2 minutes), flip over and fry other side another 1-2 minutes. Remove from skillet and place on foil lined baking tray. Sprinkle lightly with salt and place in warm oven. Continue until all the filling is gone (makes about 36 tacos).
Step five
Transfer tacos to a serving platter and enjoy with a side of your favorite Red Gold Salsa!
