12 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup Fiesta Blend cheese shredded
- 8 –10 corn tortillas
Optional Toppings:
- Lettuce, diced onions, chopped tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, guacamole
Instructions
Prepare the oven and skillet
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a skillet and set aside for warming tortillas.
Shred the chicken
- Once thoroughly cooked, shred the chicken breasts using two forks until fine, even pieces are achieved.
Prepare the filling
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and taco seasoning until fully blended. Stir in the shredded chicken until evenly coated.
Warm the tortillas
- Heat each corn tortilla in the prepared skillet for several seconds per side until softened and pliable. Remove and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Assemble the tacos
- Lightly coat a baking pan with non-stick spray. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the pan.
Bake and add cheese
- Bake the rolled tortillas for 20–30 minutes until warmed through. Remove from the oven, sprinkle the Fiesta Blend cheese over the tacos, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Garnish and serve
- Arrange the tacos on a serving platter. Garnish with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, or guacamole as desired. Serve immediately.
