Guatamalan Chicken Tacos

We decided to try something from Guatemala this week. We chose to make Guatemalan Chicken Tacos. To simplify the recipe I got a Rotisserie Chicken that was already seasoned and cooked, and all I had to do was shred it.

The Chicken Tacos were very easy and fast to make and very delicious. I really liked the Tomatillo Avocado sauce. The Tomatillo Avocado sauce had a nice tangy flavor. I think I will make it the next time we have Mexican tacos or burritos.

Most people might be familiar with Mexican tacos, but these are different enough to be worth trying. The potatoes add a nice texture and weight to these Chicken Tacos.

	4-5 large potatoes (cubed)
	1 full Rotisserie chicken (shredded)
	1/2 yellow onion (chopped)
	4 tomatillos (husked and quartered)
	2 garlic cloves (peeled)

	1/2 cup fresh cilantro
	3 avocados
	1 tsp olive oil
	1/4 tsp salt
	1/2 tsp black pepper
