Baked Ground Chicken Tacos Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 3 tablespoon oil

  divided into 1 tbsp and 2 tbsp
• 1 small onion

  finely diced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ¾ cup chicken broth

  low sodium
• ½ cup salsa
• 15 corn tortilla

  white or yellow
• 2 to 2½ cups shredded cheese

Instructions

• 1 Heat the oven to 400F and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• 2 In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and add the diced onions.
  Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the salt and minced garlic and saute for another
  minute.
• 3 Then add the ground chicken and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, making sure to break up
  the pieces with your spatula.
• 4 Add the taco seasoning, paprika, and garlic powder to the ground chicken. Give
  everything a quick mix, it doesn’t have to be perfectly mixed in.
• 5 Add the chicken broth and salsa to the skillet and stir until everything is
  combined. Lower the heat from medium to medium low and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes
  or until the sauce has cooked down to your desired sauciness.
• 6 Meanwhile, warm your tortillas. Wrap the stack of tortillas in a slightly damp
  towel and microwave on high for 60 seconds, or wrap the stack of tortillas in
  foil and bake them in the oven for 10 minutes.
• 7 Place the tortillas out on the parchment-lined sheet pans and spray or brush 1
  side of the tortillas with olive oil. Then, flip the tortillas over so the olive
  oil side is facing down.
• 8 Sprinkle around a tablespoon of shredded cheese on half of the tortilla, add
  around 2½ tablespoons of ground chicken taco meat on top of the cheese, and add
  a sprinkle of additional shredded cheese on top.
• 9 Place the tacos in the oven to bake for 5 minutes. Then remove the tacos from
  the oven, fold the opened tacos over (flip the filling side onto the empty
  side), and put them back in the oven to finish baking for 13 to 15 minutes.
  Serve with your sides of choice and enjoy!
