Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Take a rotisserie chicken and cut the meat into cubes or shred it, removing the skin if desired.

Place the cubed or shredded chicken into a bowl.

Prepare taco shells, preferably crispy ones.

Fill each taco shell with chicken, leaving space for toppings.

Top the chicken with sharp cheddar cheese, using a generous amount.

Bake the filled taco shells in the oven for 7 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Broil the tacos for 2 minutes, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning, until the outside is darker brown.

Prepare garnishes: chop shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and green onions.

Slice avocado into cubes and toss with lime juice to prevent browning, then store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Assemble the tacos by adding shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and green onions on top of the melted cheese.

Serve the tacos with salsa and lime on the side, adding avocado last to prevent discoloration.
