Rotisserie or Leftover Chicken Saves a Step for Chicken Chipotle Tacos

Everyone loves tacos and these Chicken Chipotle Tacos with Avocado Salsa from Holly Clegg’s KITCHEN 101 cookbook are sure to please. You will love this recipe because it calls for rotisserie or leftover chicken, saving you a step and making it that much easier. Chipotle peppers add a spicy smoky flavor pairing perfectly with this refreshing cucumber-lime Avocado Salsa. But if the peppers are too spicy or if you do not prefer them — leave them out and add one teaspoon chili powder — the tacos will be great either way!
