Ingredients
- 8 flour tortillas (or other tortilla/ shell of your choice)
- 1 to 2 avocados, sliced
- 1/4 red onion, diced
- 1 pound Mexican shredded chicken ( I use at least a pound of boneless skinless chicken thighs)
- 1/3 cup queso fresco, crumbled
- Cilantro Lime Ranch
Instructions
-
Prepare a batch of cilantro lime ranch dressing. I prefer to do this the day/ night before, but you can make it on the spot if you wish.
-
Cook the Mexican shredded chicken, according to your preferred method using salsa verde or salsa of your choice. (I recommend Instant Pot method, but slow cooker and stovetop work great too!)
-
Add shredded chicken to a flour tortilla, and layer on the other toppings as desired.
