Ingredients

  • 12 corn tortillas about 5.5" in diameter - I used Mission, extra thin
  • 2 diced green chilies 4-oz. can
  • 3 Tbsp ranch seasoning 21g
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese whipped, 42g
  • 1.5 cups Colby jack cheese divided, shredded, reduced-fat, 168g
  • 400 g chicken about 3.5 cups, cooked shredded

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the ranch seasoning, diced green chilies, and whipped cream cheese. Mix until combined.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay 6 corn tortillas shells on the baking sheet. cover one half of the tortilla with 2 Tbsp (14g) of shredded cheese. You will need to do this twice (or on two pans) to make all of the baked tacos. Place roughly 2-3 Tbsp (60g) of chicken mixture on top of the cheese side.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the tacos from the oven and fold each in half; press down lightly with a fork to ensure the tacos stay folded. Place back in the oven and cook for another 5 minutes.
  5. Remove the baked tacos from the oven and repeat steps if making in the same pan. Allow the tacos to cool slightly, add toppings and enjoy!
