Toppings

2 avocados, pitted, peeled and cubed
1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1 plum (Roma) tomato, seeded and diced
3/4 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese

Chipotle Sauce

3/4 cup thick & chunky salsa
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce (with 1 tablespoon adobo sauce)
1/4 cup water

Filling

2 1/2 cups pulled (not shredded) deli rotisserie chicken (from 2-lb chicken)

Puffy Tortillas

1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 tortillas from 1 package (8.2 oz) Old El Paso™ Flour Tortillas for Soft Tacos and Fajitas (10 Count)

Directions

1

In medium bowl, make guacamole by mixing avocados, green chiles, lime juice, red onion and cilantro, mashing slightly; set aside.
2

Plate Chipotle Sauce ingredients in blender or food processor. Cover; blend on high speed until smooth. Pour half of sauce in 10-inch skillet over medium heat with chicken, reserving 1/2 cup for topping. Cover skillet; heat chicken and sauce until warm.
3

Meanwhile, heat oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tortilla. Cook until starting to puff up, then turn over. Once second side is puffed up, remove from skillet; drain on paper towels.
4

Fold each tortilla in half, and top with slightly less than 1/3 cup chicken mixture. Top with guacamole, a drizzle of reserved sauce, lettuce, tomato and cheese.
