Instructions
Creating 20 Minute Mini Baked Chicken Tacos is straightforward. Follow these simple steps for a delightful taco night!
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and season with taco seasoning. Cook until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
3. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks or your hands.
4. Assemble Tacos:
– Take a tortilla and place a spoonful of shredded chicken in the center.
– Add a sprinkling of cheese on top of the chicken.
– Spoon some salsa over the cheese.
5. Bake: Place the assembled tortillas on a baking sheet and repeat until all tortillas are filled. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are warm and slightly crispy.
6. Prepare Toppings: While the tacos are baking, chop the tomatoes, lettuce, and prepare any additional toppings like sour cream or jalapeños.
7. Serve: Remove the tacos from the oven and top with fresh veggies and dollops of sour cream. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
