Who doesn’t love a fiesta at home?  It’s easy, quick, and never disappoints.  The already cooked rotisserie chicken saves so much time in the kitchen.  I usually remove the skin and white meat in advance.  Then, the chicken is prepped and ready to be reheated.  The salsa can also be prepared ahead of time.

•    ½ teaspoon black pepper, ground
•    16-18 (6 in) tortilla shells
