Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded chicken (scroll up for more chicken & seasoning suggestions)
  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (I love to use Mexican-blend cheese)

For Garnish (Optional):

  • finely chopped cilantro
  • sliced red onions
  • sliced avocado

Instructions

  1. PREP: Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. ASSEMBLE: Lay six corn tortillas across the baking sheet. Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese on each one and spread evenly around the tortilla. Scoop a large spoonful of the shredded chicken onto one half of each tortilla. (As pictured.) **If using rotisserie or unseasoned chicken, scroll up the page for my seasoning suggestion under the section "What Chicken to Use?"

  3. BAKE: Place baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove tacos from the oven and carefully fold each one in half, bringing the cheesy side over to the chicken side. Lightly press to fold in half. Continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes.

  4. COOL: Allow tacos to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Move to a plate and repeat the above steps for the next 6 tacos.

  5. ENJOY: You can enjoy these tacos, as is, like my kids do - just cheese and chicken. You can also add your favorite toppings, like cilantro, sliced onions, avocado, extra lime, sour cream or extra salsa verde. Enjoy!
