  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 32 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 packet taco seasoning
– 12 mini taco shells
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded lettuce
– 1 medium tomato, diced
– ½ cup sour cream
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Jalapeño slices (optional)


Instructions

Creating these savory Mini Baked Chicken Tacos is a breeze if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until they are no longer pink. This takes around 6-7 minutes per side.
3. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle taco seasoning over the cooked chicken. Add a splash of water to help distribute the spices. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
4. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat and shred it with two forks or chop it into small pieces.
5. Prepare the Taco Shells: Arrange the mini taco shells on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Fill the Shells: Spoon a generous amount of shredded chicken into each taco shell and top with shredded cheese.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese melts and the shells are crispy.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let the tacos cool for about 5 minutes.
9. Add Toppings: Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream. Finish with fresh cilantro and jalapeño slices if desired.
