20 Minute Mini Baked Chicken Tacos


  • Author: Amelia
  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (use rotisserie or pre-cooked chicken for convenience)
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup salsa (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 12 street taco-sized corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
  • Cooking spray or oil, for greasing the tortillas
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. Season the chicken: In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the taco seasoning and salsa (if using) until well combined.
  3. Assemble the tacos: Lay the corn tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  4. Fold and bake: Gently fold each tortilla in half over the chicken and cheese filling. Spray the tops of the tortillas lightly with cooking spray or brush with a little oil to help them crisp up in the oven. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and golden, and the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve: Remove the tacos from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
