Smoky Chicken Tacos/Scoops Recipe @pinch

Whether you eat these in taco form or in a chip, you will be a happy camper. We love finding new appetizers to share with friends and this one is a real find. The chicken is juicy, has a little kick of heat, and is bursting with a smoky chili flavor. Add all your favorite toppings and the yummy salsa verde. We served them in mini tortilla bowls and they were the perfect size for this quick and easy appetizer. These started out as smoky chicken tacos, using leftovers from a rotisserie chicken, but ended up an instant favorite in our house!After I assembled the tacos for my husband, I put some Baked Tostitos Scoops on the side and handed off the plate. He LOVED the tacos and wanted another before I had even finished making my plate. When I carried his plate to the kitchen, I noticed some of the meat had fallen into one of the scoops and a lightbulb went off. I quickly put some of the chicken mixture into one of the scoops, topped it with salsa verde and sour cream and had a quick taste test. And I just about died and went to heaven. It was THAT GOOD.Try it! You won't be disappointed!
