Notes

Tip: If you do not have already cooked chicken on hand, a rotisserie chicken would work great as well!
I used the stand and stuff taco shells for this recipe to make sure my tacos would stand nicely. You could use regular taco shells but would probably use closer to 12 taco shells instead of the 9 I used since they usually are smaller.
