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

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Move the rack to the middle position.
  • Add the chicken and salsa to a bowl. Stir until it's combined.
  • Place 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.
  • Bake 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. 
  • Meanwhile, prep your toppings.
  • Top tacos as desired and enjoy while they're still warm.
