Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 packet taco seasoning
– 12 mini flour or corn tortillas

– Jalapeños, sliced (optional)
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your 20 Minute Mini Baked Chicken Tacos:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and diced chicken. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
3. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken and mix well. Allow to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken is fully coated and heated through.
4. Arrange Tortillas: Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange the mini tortillas in an upright position. You may need to fold the tortillas to help them stay in place.
5. Fill with Chicken: Spoon the seasoned chicken mixture into each tortilla, filling them about ¾ full.
6. Top with Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filled tortillas.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are slightly crispy.
8. Prepare Toppings: While the tacos are baking, chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and prepare any additional toppings you desire.
9. Serve: Once baked, carefully remove the dish from the oven. Allow to cool for a minute before serving.
10. Garnish: Top each taco with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, jalapeños, and cilantro as desired.
