Description

These baked chicken tacos are the ultimate weeknight win—crispy on the edges, gooey with melted cheese, and packed with flavorful chicken. With just three ingredients and minimal prep, they come together in minutes and disappear even faster. A must-have in your quick dinner rotation!

 


Ingredients

Scale

6 extra thin corn tortillas (e.g. Mission brand)

6 oz cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded

½ cup (56g) shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite variety)


Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

 

Warm tortillas briefly (microwave or pan) to make them pliable.

 

Fill each tortilla with chicken and cheese, then fold gently in half.

 

Place tacos on the baking sheet, slightly leaning on each other if needed to stay closed.

 

Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are crispy and cheese is melted.

 

Serve hot with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.
