Categories     World Cuisine     Latin American     Mexican     Main Dishes     Tacos     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 (7 inch) flour tortillas
butter-flavored cooking spray
2 ½ cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 ¼ cups whole kernel corn, drained
1 ¼ cups salsa
¾ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
½ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Spray both sides of the tortillas with butter-flavored cooking spray. Cut small circles into the tortillas using a 2 3/4-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter. You should be able to get about 3 to 4 circles from each tortilla.
  • Flip two 12-cup muffin tins upside down. Fold tortilla circles into a taco shape and arrange each into the space between 2 cups so they hold their shape. Each muffin tin will hold 17 mini tacos.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tacos are just starting to turn golden brown and crispy, checking every few minutes to make sure they don't burn, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Mix together chicken, corn, and salsa in a skillet and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle cheese blend into the bottom of each taco shell, and fill with the chicken and corn mixture. Top with a dollop of sour cream.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fillings. The great thing about mini tacos is that you can fill them with just about anything. Get creative and experiment with different flavors and textures. Some popular fillings include seasoned ground beef, shredded chicken, carnitas, al pastor, and fish. You can also add beans, rice, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and sour cream.
  • Make sure your chicken is crispy. The key to a good mini taco is a crispy chicken shell. To achieve this, you can either fry the chicken or bake it in the oven. If you're frying the chicken, be sure to use a high-heat oil and cook the chicken until it's golden brown and crispy. If you're baking the chicken, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until it's cooked through and crispy.
  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh ingredients will make your mini tacos taste better. Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs. Avoid using canned or processed ingredients, as they can make your mini tacos taste bland.
  • Don't overload your mini tacos. Mini tacos are meant to be small and easy to eat. Don't overload them with fillings, or they'll be difficult to hold and eat. A good rule of thumb is to use about 2 tablespoons of filling per taco.
  • Serve your mini tacos with your favorite toppings. Mini tacos are a great way to let your guests customize their own meals. Serve them with a variety of toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce. This way, everyone can make their mini tacos exactly the way they like them.

Conclusion:

Crispy chicken mini tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, and game days. With a variety of fillings and toppings to choose from, everyone can find a mini taco that they'll love. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy recipe, give crispy chicken mini tacos a try.
