Cooking Corner: Chicken Ranch Tacos

The only instruments needed are a microwave, a fridge, and a rotisserie chicken. In less then 10 minutes, the chicken can be transformed into delicious ranch tacos. It is simple and easy and has a short ingredient list. If using a whole rotisserie chicken instead of the recommended two cups, double the toppings and other ingredients to share with up to 10 friends.
