  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 20 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb. cooked shredded seasoned chicken breast (34 cups shredded chicken breast *see notes for cooking options*)

8 oz. shredded colby jack cheese

2024 street taco corn tortillas

olive oil or cooking spray

GARNISH:

sour cream

Salsa

fresh chopped cilantro

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F and grab a large baking sheet (or two, if you’re making a big batch).

Lay the tortillas out in a single layer and brush or spray both sides with a little olive oil. This helps them get nice and crispy in the oven.

Spoon a heaping tablespoon of shredded chicken onto each tortilla, then top with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese. Don’t be shy, the cheesy goodness is what makes these so irresistible!

Pop the tacos in the oven and bake for 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts. Take them out and carefully fold each tortilla in half to form that classic taco shape. Give them a gentle press to hold.

Slide them back into the oven and bake for another 12–15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crisp on the outside.

Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, fresh cilantro, or whatever toppings you love. Then dig in and enjoy!
