  • Microwave-safe plate

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Chicken Tacos
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your baking sheet and a microwave-safe plate for the tortillas.
  2. Wrap the extra thin corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and heat in the microwave for 45-60 seconds.
  3. Place one warm tortilla on a flat surface, spoon in cooked chicken and shredded cheese on one half.
  4. Fold the tortilla over to seal the fillings inside and press down gently to secure.
  5. Arrange the filled tacos on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not too close together. Place another baking sheet on top.
  6. Bake for 8-12 minutes until golden brown. Remove the top baking sheet for extra crispiness in the last few minutes.
  7. Cool the tacos for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure tortillas are heated properly to avoid tearing. Avoid overfilling to make handling easier. For extra crunch, remove the top baking sheet near the end of baking. Let tacos rest before serving to avoid melted cheese spills.
