Pro Tips

Shred rotisserie chicken quickly by using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. It shreds a whole chicken in under a minute.
Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15-20 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds. This makes them pliable and prevents cracking.
For crispy texture, lightly brush tortillas with oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes, or pan-fry until golden before filling.
Balance the richness of chicken with acid. A squeeze of fresh lime juice, a spoonful of salsa verde, or pickled onions can brighten any dish.
