Ingredients

  • 2 Rotisserie Chickens - meat removed
  • 2 Jars of mild tomato salsa
  • 1/2 Sachet of mild taco seasoning
  • 1 Can of Red Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Finely sliced onion
  • 1 Red capsicum, finely chopped
  • 250 mls Chicken Stock

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients together in a large saucepan and simmer on medium/low until all excess moisture has evaporated. Be careful not to let it get too dry but if that does happen just add in some extra chicken stock.
  • Serve with taco shells or tortillas topped with grated cheese, shredded lettuce, guacamole and sour cream.

Notes

  • If you find that the mix seems a bit dry whilst your cooking just add in some more stock or salsa.  I cooked this once and didn't have either left so I added in some tomato sauce.  It was delicious!
  • This recipe freezes well.
  • If you are cooking for a smaller group just halve the ingredients.
  • Chicken is also great in lettuce cups topped with guacamole and sour cream.
