Description

Chicken tacos baked in the oven and made with leftover roast chicken.  My favourite Chicken Taco recipe and it’s so easy!  You could also make as pulled pork tacos using leftover slow cooked pork.  These are ready in less than 30 minutes and as they are baked with the filling and cheese in the oven, it’s a perfect taco recipe for kids.  So much less mess!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 hard taco shells  (flat based if possible)
  • 2 cups shredded roast chicken
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 cup tomato salsa or relish
  • 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
  • parsley to serve
  • lettuce to serve
  • cucumber to serve
  • avocado to serve
  • sour cream to serve

Instructions

Pre heat oven to 180C.  Line a baking tray with aluminium foil.  (this helps keep the shells crispy).

Line up the taco shells so they are all upright.  Layer in each shell; chicken, tomatoes, salsa or relish, cheese and bake in oven for 15 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Remove from oven and top with parsley, salad and sour cream!

Notes

Don’t put the salsa or relish in first or you will end up with soggy taco bases.

You could replace the chicken with any leftover shredded meat (pork, lamb or beef)
