Description

These Mini Tacos are perfect for any gathering or a fun family meal. Crispy on the outside, cheesy and flavorful on the inside, these mini tacos are sure to be a hit!


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Tacos:

  • 1 lb. cooked shredded seasoned chicken breast (3-4 cups shredded chicken breast)
  • 8 oz. shredded colby jack cheese
  • 2024 street taco corn tortillas
  • olive oil or cooking spray

Serve with:

  • sour cream
  • salsa
  • fresh chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place tortillas on a baking sheet.
  2. Brush or spray both sides with olive oil.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake for another 12-15 minutes or until the corn tortillas are crispy on the outside.
  6. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and cilantro. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For the shredded chicken, you can use crock pot shredded chicken breast or instant pot shredded chicken. Alternatively, shredded rotisserie chicken with salsa and chicken taco seasoning works well too.
  • This recipe can also be made with regular-size corn tortillas.
  • Tacos are done when crispy outside and the filling is warmed through.
