5-Ingredient Shredded Chicken Tacos for Two

There’s nothing better than a quick taco dinner. If you’ve got cooked chicken in the refrigerator, this dinner can be on the table in under 10 minutes. You can always pick up a rotisserie chicken on the way home, or grill a couple of chicken breasts either on an outdoor grill or grill pan.
