Serve with:

  • sour cream
  • salsa
  • fresh chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Place tortillas on a baking sheet.
  3. Brush or spray both sides with olive oil.
  4. Add a heaping tablespoon of the shredded chicken mixture to the tortillas and top with a heaping tablespoon of shredded cheese. You may need a second baking sheet depending on the size of yours.
  5. Bake tacos for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts. Remove from oven and carefully fold each tortilla in half, gently pressing them together in the shape of a taco.
  6. Bake for another 12-15 minutes or until the corn tortillas are crispy on the outside.
  7. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and cilantro. Enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

  • For the shredded chicken I recommend using my super easy 3 ingredient crock pot shredded chicken breast or my simple instant pot shredded chicken. If you prefer you can also use shredded rotisserie chicken and add 1/2 a cup of salsa and 2 tablespoons or so of chicken taco seasoning.
  • This recipe works well with regular-size corn tortillas as well. I love to use the street taco size because they're so cute and make the perfect handheld tacos, but regular-size corn tortillas will work too!
  • You'll know the tacos are done when they're nice and crispy on the outside and the cheesy chicken filling is warmed through on the inside.
