Barbecue Chicken Tacos

Prep Time: 15 minutes Bake Time: 10-12 minutes Total Time: 25-30 minutes Yield: 10 tacos

Ingredients:

• 1 package stand-and-stuff hard taco shells (they have flat bottoms!)
• 1 rotisserie chicken, or about 2 lbs breast or thigh meat, roasted and sliced
• 1 green pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
• ½ 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups shredded cheddar or jack cheese
• ? cup sliced scallions
• About ½ cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
• 1-2 cups shredded Boston or butter lettuce

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper so it overhangs on each side.
3. Line up the taco shells
4. Sprinkle cheese in the bottom of each.
5. Layer with fillings! We went with chicken, barbecue sauce, green pepper, onion, scallions and then more cheese.
6. Bake uncovered at 375 for 10-12 minutes or until the shells are crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Top with shredded lettuce, more scallions, and bbq sauce.

Recipe Notes:

Make these veggie by subbing black beans or sautéed tofu for the chicken.
