Follow these simple steps to create your 20 Minute Mini Baked Chicken Tacos:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready.
2. Cook Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until it’s no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Season with taco seasoning.
3. Prepare Taco Shells: While the chicken cooks, arrange the mini taco shells on a baking sheet.
4. Fill Tacos: Spoon the cooked chicken into each taco shell.
5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top of the chicken in each shell.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
