Baked Chicken Tacos

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 6 tacos

Ingredients:
  • 6 thin corn tortillas
  • 3/4 cup cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded (or your choice of filling like peppers and onions)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. Wrap the tortillas in a slightly damp paper towel and microwave for 45-60 seconds, flipping halfway through. (This will make the tortillas easier to fold.)
  3. Add the chicken, or your choice of filling, to one half of each tortilla. Top with cheese before folding over. Gently press down to seal each taco. If you notice any tearing in the tortillas, you need to microwave the tortillas for another 15-30 seconds.
  4. Place a baking sheet on top of the tacos to press them down. This prevents the tacos from opening during baking and helps the cheese fully seal the tacos so they stick together after baking.
  5. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown. Be careful not to burn. If you’re having trouble getting them crisp, remove the second baking sheet towards the end of cooking since the tacos will be sealed by then.
Notes:

These tacos are perfect for a quick meal or prepping in bulk.
