  • Author: Lina Carter
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 lb ground chicken
– 1 packet taco seasoning
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– 12 small corn tortillas
– 1 cup diced tomatoes
– 1 cup shredded lettuce
– ½ cup sour cream
– 1 avocado, sliced
– Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
– Cooking spray or olive oil


Instructions

Creating these 20 Minute Mini Baked Chicken Tacos is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cook Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
3. Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.
4. Prepare Tortillas: While the chicken cooks, lightly spray or brush the tortillas with olive oil. Arrange them in a taco rack or on a baking sheet, forming a “U” shape.
5. Fill Tortillas: Evenly distribute the cooked chicken mixture into each tortilla.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the chicken in each tortilla.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the tortillas are slightly crispy.
8. Prep Toppings: While the tacos bake, prepare your toppings: dice tomatoes, chop lettuce, and slice avocado.
9. Assemble Tacos: Once baking is complete, remove the mini tacos from the oven. Top each taco with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and slices of avocado.
10. Finish with Sour Cream: Add a dollop of sour cream on top and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
