Ingredients
For the tacos:
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken, shredded
- lime juice of 1
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

- 2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 12 corn tortillas
For serving:
- ranch dressing jalapeño flavor
- lettuce shredded
- Pico de Gallo

- red onion pickled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, lime juice, and taco seasoning.
- Wrap the tortillas in a towel and microwave on high for 45 to 60 seconds to make them more pliable. Grease a large baking sheet generously with avocado oil. Place the tortillas on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cheese on half of each tortilla. Top the cheese with 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture. Add another tablespoon of cheese on top. Fold tortillas over the filling and gently press to adhere. Lightly brush tortillas with oil.
- Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
- While the tacos are baking, make the jalapeño ranch. Serve the tacos with the jalapeño ranch and desired toppings.
