Ingredients
- 12 extra thin corn tortillas about 5.5" in diameter - I used Mission
- 2 4-oz. can diced green chilies
- 3 Tbsp ranch seasoning (21g)
- 1/4 cup whipped cream cheese (42g)
- 1.5 cups shredded reduced-fat Colby jack cheese (168g) divided
- 400 g cooked shredded chicken about 3.5 cups
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the ranch seasoning, diced green chilies, and whipped cream cheese. Mix until combined.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
