EASY OVEN BAKED SPICY CHICKEN TACOS RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Easy Oven Baked Spicy Chicken Tacos Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by á-3424

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound cooked chicken, shredded
1 packet Old El Paso Hot & Spicy Taco Seasoning, 1 ounce
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 can diced tomato, drained, 14.5
1 can Old El Paso Chopped Green Chiles, 4.5 ounces
10 Old El Paso Stand and Stuff Taco Shells
1/2 can Old El Paso Refried Beans, 16 ounces
2 cups Mexican Blend Cheese, shredded
Toppings such as Old El Paso sliced Jalapenos, sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, shredded lettuce, or any of your favorite taco toppings!

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet. Add onion to skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant. Stir in the chicken, taco seasoning, tomatoes, and green chiles. Stir to combine fully. Reduce to simmer and allow to cook for 5-8 minutes. Place the taco shells in the baking dish, standing up. I was able to fit 10 taco shells in the dish by adding 2 on each side. Spoon 1 tablespoon of beans into the bottom of each taco shell. Top with the chicken mixture, almost to the top of each shell. Sprinkle each shell generously with shredded cheese, the more the better! Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and the edges of the shells are browned. Remove from the oven and top with your favorite items such as jalapenos, sour cream, cilantro, and salsa. Enjoy! Tips: Be sure to drain the tomatoes completely, this will help the taco shells to not get soggy while baking! If you prefer your tacos not spicy, just omit the green chilis and use regular Old El Paso Taco Seasoning. Just as delicious!

EASY BAKED CHICKEN TACOS



Easy Baked Chicken Tacos image

Provided by Layla

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup onion (minced)
2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
1 cup black beans (optional)
1 cup salsa or diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons taco seasoning
12 hard shell tacos
1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar or any melting cheese)
cilantro to garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with foil or parchment paper.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes or until lightly golden. Add the chicken, black beans, salsa, and taco seasoning. Cook for 3-4 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • Line taco shells in a baking dish. Spoon a few tablespoons of the chicken into each taco shell. Top with a sprinkle of cheese and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve with a side of sour cream, lettuce, and slices of lime if desired!

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked taco meat. You can also use leftover chicken or beef.
  • If you don't have taco seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overfill the taco shells. Otherwise, they will be difficult to fold and will likely fall apart.
  • If you are using hard taco shells, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. If you are using soft taco shells, you can stack them on top of each other.
  • Bake the tacos for 10-12 minutes, or until the shells are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked tacos are a quick and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. They are also a great way to use up leftover taco meat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
