These oven baked chicken tacos are quick and easy. Using rotisserie or leftover chicken makes this the perfect fast weeknight family dinner!

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 10 hard taco shells
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g. Tex-Mex blend or cheddar)
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, tomatoes, onions, avocado, etc.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 375F. Move the rack to the middle position.
  2. 2Add the chicken and salsa to a bowl. Stir until it's combined.
  3. 3Place your taco shells in a baking dish (mine was 9x13). I bought the flat bottom taco shells to make this easier. Spoon the chicken mixture equally into each taco and then sprinkle the cheese over top.
  4. 4Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tacos are heated through. Check around the 10 minute mark to make sure the tacos don't start to burn.
  5. 5Meanwhile, prep your toppings.
  6. 6Top tacos as desired and enjoy while they're still warm.
