{10 Minute Summer Tacos}

Yield: 10 tacos
Time: 20 minutes (yes, I know the title says 10)

1 ready made rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 medium Serrano pepper, grilled till blackened (I use tongs and hold it over my gas range)
1/2 red onion, coarsely chopped (it's going in a food processor, don't be perfect)
1 cup fresh cilantro (again, it's going in the food processor, don't be perfect)
1 lime, juiced
2 T honey
2/3 c Herdez brand salsa verde
Avocado, mashed
10 soft corn tortillas, warmed

Throw your shredded chicken into a pan and warm through (add a little oil if it's dry).

In a food processor throw your pepper (scrape the seeds out to avoid a lot of the heat if that bothers you), onion, cilantro, lime juice, honey and salsa and whiz to desired consistency.  If my family wasn't home, I'd go for more chunky but when the kids are eating, I basically puree it.

Pour the liquid mix into your chicken and stir to combine and allow to heat through.

On your warmed tortillas spread fresh avocado and top w/your chicken mix.

*Optional, add tomatoes on top or your favorite non-dairy cheese.

Complete Meal Idea: Serve with Minty Melon Salad.
