Ingredients
  

Chicken Filling
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked and shredded
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend
  • 8 small corn tortillas
Toppings
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato diced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 medium avocado sliced

Method
 

Prepare the Chicken Filling
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shredded chicken, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine and heat through for about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and mix in half of the shredded cheese.
Assemble the Tacos
  1. Lightly grease a baking dish. Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
  2. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll them up tightly. Place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  3. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Bake and Serve
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, cilantro, and avocado on top.
