Ingredients

2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, finely grated

1 4-oz can chopped green chiles, drained well

2 tsp New Mexico or ancho chile powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

tsp ground coriander

tsp dried oregano

Kosher salt

1 8-oz can tomato sauce

1 Tbsp light brown sugar

1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed, meat shredded (3 to 3 1/2 cups)

12 Seasoned Taco Shells, recipe follows, or store-bought hard taco shells

Diced avocado, crumbled cotija, diced white onion, sliced radishes and shredded cabbage, for topping

Seasoned Taco Shells

2 tsp ground cumin

2 tsp New Mexico or ancho chile powder

1 tsp ground coriander

Kosher salt

12 hard taco shells

2 - 3 Tbsp vegetable oil

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and green chiles, and cook until sizzling, about 1 minute. Add the chile powder, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, oregano and a pinch of salt; stir to coat the onions in the spices. Cook for about 1 minute, then add the tomato sauce, brown sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 to 6 minutes.

2. Add the chicken to the sauce; continue to simmer and reduce until the sauce coats the chicken and is no longer soupy, about 5 minutes.

3. Fill the Seasoned Taco Shells with the chicken mixture and top with avocado, cotija, onions, radishes and shredded cabbage.

Seasoned Taco Shells

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a small bowl, combine the cumin, chile powder, coriander and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

3. Arrange the taco shells in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the shells inside and out with vegetable oil, and sprinkle all over with the spice mixture. Bake until golden, about 5 minutes, turning once halfway through.
