Description

These Mini Baked Chicken Tacos are a fun and delicious twist on traditional tacos. Perfect for parties or a quick family dinner, these mini tacos are easy to make and packed with flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

Shredded Chicken Mixture:

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 12 mini flour or corn tortillas
  • Cooking spray or oil for brushing
  • Optional toppings like sour cream, chopped cilantro, jalapeños, or diced tomatoes


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare chicken mixture: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, salsa, and taco seasoning. Stir until evenly coated.
  3. Assemble tacos: Lightly grease a muffin tin and press one mini tortilla into each cup to form a shell. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each tortilla, then top with shredded cheese.
  4. Bake: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the tortillas are crisp.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before removing from the tin. Add desired toppings and serve warm.

Notes

  • To make your own mini tortillas, cut standard-size tortillas into smaller rounds using a cookie cutter or kitchen scissors.
  • These mini tacos are great for parties and kids’ meals.
  • You can substitute the chicken with ground beef or black beans for variety.
