Soft flour tortilla shells make a great edible bowl for a loaded chicken salad taco!

I love taco salads, and turning them into hand-held tacos using soft flour tortillas is a hit every time. These chicken salad tacos combine tender shredded chicken with fresh vegetables and bold Mexican flavors, all tucked into a soft shell that’s easy to eat at parties or family dinners. They’re convenient, colorful, and perfect for feeding a crowd.

Enjoy!

Description
Soft flour tortilla shells serve as an edible bowl for a hearty chicken salad filling. The combination of shredded rotisserie chicken, beans, corn, crisp vegetables and a tangy dressing creates a fresh, satisfying taco that’s easy to assemble and perfect for entertaining.
Ingredients
- 10 stand & stuff soft flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
- Zest and juice of half a lime
- 1 whole rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup taco sauce
- 2 cups chopped lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (11 ounce) can mexicorn, drained
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
- 1/2 cup queso fresco, crumbled
Instructions
- Warm the tortillas according to package directions so they are soft and pliable.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, taco seasoning mix, and the zest and juice of half a lime until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken with the taco sauce, stirring until the chicken is evenly coated.
- In a large bowl, add the chopped lettuce, shredded carrots, chopped onion, black beans, mexicorn, tomatoes, and the sauced chicken. Toss gently with the prepared dressing until well combined.
- Fill each warmed tortilla nearly full with the salad mixture, then sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco.
- Serve the tacos immediately for the best texture. Alternatively, store the prepared salad and tortillas separately in the refrigerator and assemble just before serving.
- Note: For optimal crunch, serve within one hour after filling; the dressings will soften the tortillas over time.
