Total Time:
30m
Ingredients
- 1 grapefruit
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken meat
- 1 4.5-ounce can chopped green chilies
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
- 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
- 8 crispy taco shells, warmed
- salsa, for serving
Directions
- Cut away the peel and pith of the grapefruit. Working over a small bowl, cut along both sides of each grapefruit segment, releasing the segments into the bowl. Squeeze the membrane to release 1 tablespoon of the juice. Add the avocado, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper and toss to combine.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken and chilies and cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the beans and scallion whites and cook until warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the vinegar. Divide the chicken mixture among the taco shells and serve with the salad, beans, and salsa. Sprinkle with the scallion greens.

Quick Tip
To shred a rotisserie chicken, pull off the breasts and legs with your hands (if you’re squeamish, you can use a knife). Remove
the bones and, using 2 forks, pull the meat apart. A 2½-pound rotisserie bird will yield 3½ to 4 cups of meat.

FRESH PICK
Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
