Easy Tacos with Homemade Tortillas with Rotimatic

Taco Night just got easier with these delicious Easy Tacos with homemade tortillas, or in this case, roti. Using the Rotimatic, making and customizing tortillas is easy tasty, and delicious. This post is sponsored by Rotimatic, all opinions are my own.

These Rotimatic made roti are the perfect addition to a taco bar! No kneading, rolling, or baking required.

There is just something about having a fresh made tortilla that takes a taco from ordinary to extraordinary. But who has the time to mix them up, roll them out, and cook them up? Not me, I have way too many other things that I need to get done during the chaotic dinner hour. Which is why today I am excited to share with you guys the Rotimatic.

What is the Rotimatic?

The Rotimatic is an innovative countertop kitchen machine offering a fully integrated solution to making roti, flatbread, tortillas, puri, and pizza crusts. It measures, mixes, kneads, flattens, cooks, puffs and delights. All in one!

Basically it is like having a helper in the kitchen. All you need is flour, water, and oil, and then your choice of spices for hot, fresh, tasty roti in minutes. It is the perfect way to take Taco Tuesday up a notch with hot and fresh tortillas ready when you are!

For today’s recipe, I am sharing a classic tortilla recipe, as well as a fun twist for taco night, with the taco inspired tortilla seasoned with chili powder, cumin, and garlic. Combined with a flavorful Mexican Shredded Chicken, this meal is as flavorful as it is easy to make, with the help of Rotimatic.

10 Reasons I Love the Rotimatic:

1. It does all the work for me! As a busy working mom I love anything that makes my life easier, and being able to press “play” and let the machine do the work is HUGE for me. The Rotimatic mixes, kneads, rolls out, and even cooks the roti. All I have to do is put the ingredients in the right tubs, and tell it how thick I like my roti. Then I press play and walk away.
2. It is so versatile. While we love using the Rotimatic for Taco Tuesday, it is also great for making puri dough, personal pizzas, and more. It is a really versatile machine making all kinds of flatbreads!
3. Easy to customize what I am making. One of the best perks, and one I highlight in this recipe, playing with and learning to utilize and customize with the Rotimatic has been really fun for me. I love being able to experiment and add things to my roti. For the kids, a classic flour roti is great. However, for me, I love adding in some spices, and adding flavor to the roti itself. All I have to do is put the spices in with the flour mixture, and I get all kinds of different roti!
4. Perfect for meals or snacks. When I am making dinner, I can press start, and let it make the Roti while I cut up veggies, or make sauces, etc. But it is also great for snacks. Even my boys can press “play” and get a hot fresh roti they can then sprinkle cheese on, dip in something, or eat plain.
5. Great customer support. I know if I were to ever have a problem with my Rotimatic, the company stands behind their machines and offers in app support for easy help!  Customer support, this is the feature that sets Rotimatic apart from other kitchen gadgets. Being connected to the internet and the app allows their team to troubleshoot remotely. If you had an issue, you could reach out through chat support, and an engineers will log in to the system remotely to fix it. If it is a hardware issue, they replace the unit with a new one if it is in the warranty period (one year). You can also check out the positive reviews on Rotimatic here!
6. Health and convenience that is simple. The machine does the work, but I have the power to choose what goes into my Roti, Pizzas, and Puri. From the flour choice to the spices. It is the perfect marriage of both health and convenience
7. Facebook Community for owners with recipes and ideas.  I love that I can log onto the large Facebook community for Rotimatic owners and ask questions, get inspired, and find recipes I can try at home.
8. Technology: New updates with additional flours, and possible products. This is a piece of technology that is only getting better. The company has planned updates that will expand the functionality and versatility of the Rotimatic.
9. Easy to use. The Rotimatic is very easy to use, with simple to navigate menus, prompts, and even pre-programmed recipes.
10. It is just plain cool! I mean, I own a lot of kitchen gadgets, and this one is pretty awesome. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and means hot and fresh roti at the touch of a button.

Why Rotimatic is worth the investment:

As you can see, there are a lot of reasons to love the Rotimatic, so while it may seem expensive at $999, I think it is worth mentioning that it is a kitchen tool you could use as much as your oven. If you use it regularly, it will pay for itself. But additionally the ability to choose your ingredients without sacrificing convenience is pretty awesome.  So if you find yourself wanting homemade tortillas for Taco Tuesday, or Pizzas for Friday Pizza Night, or flatbread/Roti or Puri to go with any number of dishes, the Rotimatic is for you. And right now, I have a special discount code for readers of DomesticSuperhero.com to get $100 OFF the purchase of the Rotimatic using this code.

Now that you know why I love the Rotimatic, let’s chat about these awesome tacos I made using it. They are fun for the whole family, especially if everyone gets a say in how they want the flavors of the roti customized.

Beyond the flavorful roti, these tacos are filled with Mexican Shredded Chicken, a great all-purpose chicken that is great in tacos, burritos, taquitos, nachos and more. This chicken is made stove top, or can even be made in a slow cooker or pressure cooker.

In addition to the flavorful chicken, I used a delicious black bean dip, and all the regular taco toppers, like diced tomatoes and avocado, peppers, and cilantro. But you can add cheese, sour cream, avocado cream sauce, hot sauce, or whatever you would like to make them yours.

The chicken is so flavorful and fun, and when added to the fresh and hot roti, with your favorite toppings, and a squeeze of lime, you have a fresh, healthy, flavorful meal. Serve it as a taco bar so it is customizable, and something the whole family will love.
