Happy Taco Tuesday! Do you guys do that? Have tacos on Tuesdays? Or Mexican? We don’t. We eat them whenever the craving hits. And once you try these California Burritos with Cilantro-Lime Rice, you will be craving them often.

These burritos come from 100 Creative Ways to Use Rotisserie Chicken in Everyday Meals by my super talented and hilarious friend Trish from Mom on Timeout. If you’ve ever visited her site, you already know how amazing her recipes are. This cookbook is full of lots (100 to be exact) of mouth-watering recipes featuring rotisserie chicken. I love that the recipes in this cookbook are family friendly and practical. No fancy-shmancy ingredients in it that you have to make a special trip to the store to buy.

  1. I love the rotisserie chickens at Costco too. They’re always perfect! This looks like a great way to enjoy one! Love cilantro rice 🙂

  6. This looks so good right now. My favorite way to use chicken is in black bean, chicken and sweet potato stew.

  9. I love to take my Rotisserie Chicken and make a quick dinner of chicken taco’s. My family love them. I would love to receive this cookbook.

  10. My current fav with rotisserie chicken is a salad bowl with spinach, quinoa, edamame, tomatoes, and teriyaki sauce!
