Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup water or mild salsa
  • 8 hard taco shells
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • ½ cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • ½ cup diced tomato
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup chunky salsa
  • Lime wedges

Method
 

  1. Mix the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, and water or salsa until evenly coated.
  2. Arrange taco shells in a baking dish and fill each one three‑quarters full with the chicken mixture.
  3. Sprinkle cheese over each taco and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, until cheese is melted and shells are golden.
  4. Remove from the oven, top with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, salsa, and lime, and serve hot.

Notes

You can put the tacos together while the oven preheats and have them in the oven in under 10 minutes. The toasted shell edges are the best part, so don’t skip the last minute of baking even if the cheese already looks melted.
