Instructions
Creating 20 Minute Mini Baked Chicken Tacos is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes.
3. Add Seasoning: Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat. Stir to combine thoroughly and let it cook for an additional 2 minutes to enhance the flavors.
4. Prepare Tortillas: Take the mini tortilla wraps and arrange them on the prepared baking tray. If desired, you can lightly brush them with a bit of olive oil for added crispiness.
5. Fill Tacos: Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese for a melty finish.
6. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortillas turn crispy and the cheese is bubbly.
7. Prep Toppings: While the tacos are baking, chop the lettuce, tomatoes, and other desired toppings.
8. Serve: Remove the tacos from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, add your chopped lettuce, tomatoes, and any other toppings you like.
9. Add Sauces: Drizzle sour cream over the top and finish off with fresh cilantro.
10. Enjoy: Serve warm and watch them disappear quickly!
These simple steps yield a dish full of flavor and satisfying crunch!
