Ingredients
- 3 cups chicken breast or pulled rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 10 taco shells or more depending on size, crispy
- 1 cup cheddar cheese or Mexican blend, shredded
Toppings (optional)
- lettuce shredded
- Pico de Gallo
- corn salsa
- sour cream
- guacamole
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F.
- Combine the shredded chicken, salsa, and taco seasoning until evenly mixed.
- Stand the taco shells upright tightly in a 9x13 baking dish. Fill each shell with taco meat and top with cheese.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is heated through.
- Remove the tacos and stuff with preferred toppings, or allow each person to top their tacos in any way they like!
Notes
- Substitutions:
- Chicken - You can use pulled rotisserie chicken, a few breasts that were boiled or baked, leftover fried tenders, or even the container of pre-shredded chicken from the grocery store.
- How to Scale: Number of tacos may vary depending on the size of the taco shells you use. I have fit from 10-16 tacos in a 9x13 baking dish depending on brand.
- Chicken - You can use pulled rotisserie chicken, a few breasts that were boiled or baked, leftover fried tenders, or even the container of pre-shredded chicken from the grocery store.
- Salsa - It can be mild, medium, or spicy, but I do recommend choosing one that is thick and chunky. If you choose a looser, liquid style salsa it can cause sogginess in the shells.
- Shredded Cheese – Shredded cheddar, a Mexican blend, or even a spicier shredded pepper jack can all be used with tasty results.
- To make less tacos, use the same method, but place shells in an 8x8 baking dish.
- To make more tacos, use 2 9x13 baking dishes, or 1 half sheet pan.
