Mini Baked Chicken Tacos

• Serving size: 4 servings, 8 mini tacos
• Total cook time: 20 minutes
• Family friendly: YES - everyone ate these and had seconds and thirds!

Why You Will Love These Mini Chicken Tacos

These mini tacos are simple, they take less than 30 minutes to make, with only 7 ingredients. They are a perfect dinner for busy weekdays. If you have kids in school or sports, or if you work all day and don't want to make a complicated dinner, this will be the recipe you will want to make.

If you want to "spice up" taco night, this is how it's done. They tasted like a chicken Caesar salad wrapped in a taco, offering a unique and delicious twist. You have the creaminess of the Caesar dressing, the ooey gooey cheese, multigrain tortilla for some flavor, bacon bits that add a salty crunch, and garlic powder for flavor.

If you have used Mr. Tortilla tortillas, that's what I used in this recipe and they were perfect for something like this. This was my first time using them and I have definitely purchased more since.

What Makes This Recipe Different

There are several things that make this recipe unique. Of course, the ingredients. The second thing would be how they are made. I used a muffin tin, turned it upside down, sprayed it with a cooking spray, and used it to make the tacos.

How to Store and Reheat Mini Baked Chicken Tacos

I suggest eating them right away as they are best served fresh. If you do want to store them, you can add them to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to four days. To reheat, you can use the microwave or Air fryer.

Inspiration Behind the Recipe

A few nights ago I made these Baked Chicken Tacos from Alese (who makes amazing recipes by the way), and these were super easy to make. Alese used Cut Da Carb flatbread and I used Mr. Tortilla tortillas.

My family loves tacos, but sometimes I like to make unique and different recipes. I'm always finding new ways to reinvent recipes and adapt them to our own. This recipe I had never heard of before and thought it would be a fun way to introduce new flavors to our family's weekly menu.

Adjust to Your Liking

I didn't serve them with anything because they were so filling and flavorful as-is, but you can add or replace ingredients such as:

  • Sour cream
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Bacon crumbles instead of bacon bits
  • Mini tortillas of your choice
